Chris Rhodin at BMS informed me that there is a problem with
INITCLK.PRG which is easily fixed by patching the binary.

THE PROBLEM: the on-board clock will NOT accept as a valid date
a two-digit day for the 12 calendar months prior to February in
a leap year.  ( No, I did NOT figure it out...I just called Chris
and he gave me the description and solution.  All I knew was
"Clock doesn't set date correctly".)

THE FIX:

In INITCLK.PRG, offset 0x1A6, change 0xC0 to 0x80 .


THE CREDIT:  should all go to Berkeley MicroSystems for their
excellent support and products.
