On my 500, the time reported from the 8520 chip is slow by 3.5 minutes in less than a day, versus the clock chip being off by only a couple of seconds over =several= days. My question to any C= people is: Why bother using the TOD section of the 8520 in the machines that you know there's a clock chip present? And to any 2000 owners- does your 8520 keep better time (because it's getting 60 Hz from the power company)? David Carter davidc@pyr.gatech.edu
