Howdy.  The time of day clock on my Mac hasn't worked for several months
and I can't seem to solve the problem on my own, so I'm turning to the
ever-helpful net.  I can set the clock, but it never advances, just sits
there.  The battery seems to be okay, because it remembers the set time
as well as other PRAM type stuff.  Using IM and Macsbug, I seemed to
confirm that the 1-second interrupt was enabled.  And Tickscount() still
advances.  I reset PRAM by removing the battery to no avail, as well.
I've also tried booting up with old, bare-bones system disks.  Any ideas?
My configuration is:
    Mac 512KE with Dove 2 MB and Dove SCSI
    Homemade hard disk with SF&I SCSI Driver
    System 6.0.2
    Various inits and cdevs all added since the problem started,
          such as the XPRAM init

ADVthanksANCE!!
