Why not go for an NTP client application which updates your clock over the net every time you power on?

No soldering and I am sure you've already got a network.

I don't always want to connect to the Internet because it causes problems with WHDLoad

The X-Surf is not a card which creates the spurious interrupts that are supposed to interfere with WHDload. Put it this way I've used my A4000 with X-Surf card constantly connected to my network using Miami for over 8 years with no issues.
