I note that in a later post you say you are running RO3.10 in an A420.  When
you put the new ROMs in, did you do a PowerOn-Delete (or similar) to clear
the CMOS RAM?  If not, your time zone could be (and probably is) set to
anything, and could easily give the bizarre responses mentioned above.

A general note, folks; always, always, always reset your CMOS RAM on
switching from RO2 to RO3 (or vice versa), as the allocations have changed!
