I would like to thanks all those who answered my question either through
the net, by I-AMIGA, or by private mail. special thanks goes to CBM people.
( Andy, George - Thanks! ).

Well, my A501 clock is now functioning again..
I got a few advises. One was to disconnect the battery for a few seconds,
to let the clock fully reset itself. This is what I finally did, and my
clock started working again!

Christian Blazer ( the software brewery.. ) suggested me to use the 1.2
setclock instead of the 1.3. unfortunately, the 1.2 didn't have the
reset option at all! another article by Andy Finkel ( hey Andy, we have
almost the same name.. ) explained it all. The 'reset' option in the 1.3
setclock does nothing.. I have found it myself. it even doesn't change the clock
Andy, would we see a new 'setclock' before 1.4? I don't think it's a good idead
to disassemble my A501 module each time a wild program sets it into it's test
mode! I would have written a new 'reset' program myself, if I've know what bits
I should set, and at what address.
