Title: REAL TIME CLOCK
Post by: Darrin on October 31, 2008, 04:20:53 PM

Both my A3000 and A4000 have had their old leaking batteries removed and in both cases the metal terminals snapped off flush to the motherboard.  Short of engaging in some delicate soldering operations, I was wondering if there are any other RTC products available such as this:

My A4000 has a Deneb with an A1200 clock port attached, so I assume that the above device would work.  I also found a few other RTC devices in The Big Book of Amiga Hareware which attach to serial ports, joystick ports and even beteen the keyboard and the Amiga.

If you have web access, FACTS http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/facts
is an app that allows the amiga to synchronize with internet time. I run it as part of my wbstartup.

Ah, great!  My A4000 is connected to my home network via the Deneb & USB internet adapter.  That should be perfect.  Thanks.  :-)

I guess that's better than Swatch time.
