Due to a special set of circumstances, I need to directly access the clock/
calendar on a multifunction board ... this one is made by an unknown "clone"
manufacturer, but I can't believe that it is any different than the AST Six-
Pack, or the Quadram Quadboard, etc.

I have looked everywhere possible (in documentation which is available to me)
for the port addresses, protocol, memory addresses (if memory-mapped IO is
used, but I doubt it), etc.

Could someone please E-mail me some details on how to get at the time (and date,
but mainly the time) from assembler language?

Thank you very much for your help.

MRB @ PSUECLA ..... Penn State is on BITNET, and a few other gateways work too.
I'm sorry I don't know all of them but hopefully your message will get to me.
Maybe the header along with this article will prove useful
