I have a 1040st and just recently (last weekend) purchased a Supra
30 megabyte hard disk.

I carefully followed the installation instructions, formatted the
disk and installed the proper files into the auto folder so that
the date/time would be fed to the system automatically upon booting.

I turned everything on and saw the "system date set" message flash
on the screen and expected everything to be kosher.  I clicked on
the ONLY desk accessory I have installed (Control.acc) and it displayed
the 1985 date...

Thinking I must have missed setting the Supra clock, I ran the supplied
set clock program and was dismayed to see that the supra had the correct
date/time but the system didn't.

I manually ran the supclkrd program and sure enough, it updated the system
properly.  Turning everything off, I rebooted again and it failed to load
the system with the date and time.

I called Supra on Tuesday, and they told me to remove the Control Panel
accessory and try it.  It worked!!  So I can't have the control panel
on my hard disk if I want the system date/time to be set at boot????

This seems to indicate that I will either have to manually run the 
clock read program at every boot or learn to live without the control
panel...

Anybody have any suggestions??
