Hello,
I'm having problems with my clock. Whenever I set the date & time
then reset (no matter weather it's soft, hard or a complete power down)
the time is always wrong. The date is correct after a reset most of the
time, but when it does changes sometimes it's only the year that changes
(1978 & 2005 are the most common ones) other times the it's totally
incorrect. I'm sure it's not a battery problem because I had the same
problem when I had a 4mb ram card installed (I've had the 040 for about
4 months). On another note I have a problem with the 040 or rather it's
caches. When i boot up after leaving my miggy switched off for about
one hour sometimes it crashes during startup sequence (I'm certain of
this because I tested it by putting an echo command in between every
command. I'm positive it's the caches because if I disable them from
the early startup menu everything is fine. Also I'm sure it's not
a heat related problem (my miggy is sitting on top of 4 sets of 3
floppies with no trapdoor lid (does that make sense ;-)). The only two
things that may be causing a problem are the fact that I've got a
set of Escom (anyone remember them peeps) 3.1 roms on a commodore
motherboard and/or could smoking twenty a day damage my miggy's health
(and yes I do know that it's damaging my health). Thanks in advance.
BTW: If it is smoke thats causing the problem can anyone think of a way
to stop it getting in (apart from quit smoking) cause I guess
covering up the air vents on the case would cause me even more
problems
