There was also the mult-function card made by Applied Engineering that plugged into the motherboard for extra ram. The card came in 3 flavors: just extra memory, memory+clock function and memory+clock+Z-80 processor.
As far as the date goes, most Apple II clock cards didn't carry the year info in ROM but got the info in a 2-byte form from ProDOS from the lookup table built into ProDOS. The table itself has to be updated every 7 years so the date and year info is correct--Apple released this program at least 14 years ago since I remember having to update my disks at least twice. :) Some programs do have the year info partially hardcoded however at least for the century--if your program only reports the last 2 year digits you'll be fine, and others can read the 20. I use EasyDrive for my HD manager/launcer, and the bar at the top of the screen keeps telling me it's the year 1903. :) (If I knew enough about programming I suppose I could go in there and change it, but that's not my forte. :) ) Later.................Howard ____________________________________________________________ Computer n.
