Dear amiga clock guru,

One of our programms, a 24 our a day 365 days a year remote controlled,
programmable slideshow, we are having trouble with the Amiga clocks
(internal and external).
1. sometimes the amiga internal clock runs 18 seconds a minute fast.
   The cause of this is unknown but the machine stands in a
   cable tv headstation so ?

To avoid problem number 1 we have a background task that reads the external
clock (battery backedup clock) every 30 seconds. this looks like:
  FOREVER
  {
   Execute("Setclock load",input,output); /* input and output are nil: */
   Delay(1000) /* pal land 30 seconds */
  }

2. Sometimes the clock sets itself at 1-1-1978 (ami's first day of life).

3. Sometimes the clock is a couple of weeks|months fast|slow.

4. Sometimes the clock is unset unset unset after a reset.

If you have any clue about the cause and/or solution of these problems
please help us out!

Thanx in advance.
