#a3000 softclock problem
4 messages in this thread
Help! My A3000's software clock is running at +290.33% real time. The
hardware clock is fine. I have tested two local dealers A3000 and thay are
fine. I have taken my problem to my dealer, Commodore csc and just about
anyone who will listen with no positive results. If I do a setclock load
then to a date the time is correct but if I do subsequent time checks with
date the time is off by a factor of 290.33% on the plus side. All
Commodore csc could suggest is that I get a new copy of the software clock
program, I had already tried that! Anyone have any ideas? I think it may be
a hardware jumper on the mother board that selects where the software clock
gets it timming, but just a guess on my part.
Dan,
Have your dealer check the 8520 CIA chips out…I think they'll
find that one is not working properly.

Thanks for the tip on checking out the 8520 CIA chip. You are the only one
who has taken an interest in the problem. I am on the phone right now with
my dealer and he is checking to see if he has any 8520' in stock. I will
get him to atleast check my chips out. I hope he has that ability 😀
Dan,
Ok…let me know how things work out.
