I would like to know the answer to this too.
I've even experimented by setting the time to a few seconds before new
year's day 2000 to see if the actual clock hardware will cope with a date
of 01/01/2000 - it won't :-(
From what I remember you get some sort of nonsence date/time.
Somebody could make a killing by producing new hardware/software for the
ST, because I know that I shall still be using my Atari in 2000 - unless
it thinks otherwise!
