Hi All,

I have a problem with my BIOS-clock. The clock runs too fast. The clock of
the Operating System runs too fast. If I reset the computer the time is Ok,
but if the PC keeps runnings the clock will move 10 seconds (a day) into
the future. A strange but irritation problem. 
I wrote a small program to read the BIOS clock ($0040:$006C) but this clock
is the wrong one. Can anybody help me to get the right CMOS-time?! Is there
a way to find it??

Thanks,

Erwin Gravesteijn
