I have an Ocean "Hippo" VL+ Motherboard which has a peculiar RTC problem.

In the BIOS setup, the clock seems to be running VERY fast, it looks like
the seconds are going past every 600ms or so. However, when I look at the
clock in a DOS application, it *seems* to be running normally. Some weeks
ago, somebody kindly explained that the clock runs under different 
circuitry depending on whether the machine is on or off.....Does anyone
have the manual for this board, and can anyone suggest how I might fix
the problem appart from getting a new board.
