Hi All The clock in my Atari ST has stopped. I assume, like my Pc that it is run off a battery but what size/number etc is it before I open the case? Any info about replacing the battery would be welcome :-) Thanks in Advance Jim Moyes jim@moyes.demon.co.uk

AFAIK the STs don't have a battery backed clock on board although the Mega
ST/STEs do. What are the symptoms of it's failure?

Does the clock normally need to be reset at start-up, it is such a long time since I used it I can't remember? :>) All Help Valued

You may find that the real-time clock is on the SCSI adapter board, usually as device 6. When you start up, the adapter software sets the Atari internal clock from it. There should be a utility to set the real-time clock with your SCSI driver software. -- Alan Price http://www.postern.demon.co.uk
