The other day I was booting my A2000, when I got this ugly little message:
"Battery Backed up Clock not found". It was at the point in startup-sequence
where "setclock load" is executed. After it finished booting I tried the
"date" command and got "<unset> <unset> <unset>". At this point I set the
date/time manually using the "date" command, which worked fine. Then I tried
"setclock save" and got the same "...Clock not found" error.
My system configuration is:
A2000 w/1MB CHIP RAM and Fatter Agnus
Dual internal 3.5 drives
XT Bridgeboard w/5.25 drive
Kronos 2000 SCSI Adapter with external drive
I removed the Bridgeboard and Kronos card to make sure neither was causing
the problem, and got the same error message from "setclock".
Anyone have any ideas on this? I realize the obvious of changing the clock
chip, but I wanted to solicit other opinions before hacking on the machine.
Thanks for any and all help.
John B.
