#A1200 clock?
5 messages in this thread
Well….. It may be time for Microbotics to resurrect their little "plugs
into the mouse port" RTC hack. It works… But it is more cost effective I
suspect to just get a bare MBX1200 board.

Joanne,
Does the MBX1200 actually HAVE a clock on it?
I was about to buy one today and took a good look at the board. No
sign of a battery. Tha docs don't mention anything about a clock either.
I'll be asking them in AmigaVendor about this as well.

Joe,
I have a MBX1200, no clock. I dragged the Time preferences into the
WBStartup drawer for the time being so I don't forget to set the time.
Dennis ….on AutoPilot
Dennis,
Thanks for the information.
Now I need to figure out where I heard that it did have one.
Probably half the reason for getting one now just went out the
window.
Oh, well.

Hi Joanne —
I'm not familiar with Microbotics "Plugs into the mouse port RTC hack."
Is/Was that a "Clock in a dongle?" And are you saying that the MBX1200
(which is their new A1200 memory board, right?) _does_ have a clock on it?
I can't find specs on it, and at least one dealer says "nope."
I'm not a hardware kind of person, but it seems by now that clocks
would be built-ins in any computer, right outa the box….
