Well, I looked through some old books, and yes, there it was: The HD (MC?) 146818 RTC
(Real Time Clock plus RAM) - will this be the
Hurd-bug I encounter? Unfortunately, this particular manual only show the pinout and
describes the little bug - but it already hints
as to the nature of the problem: Three Time Base Inputs ... 4.19,Mhz 1.05Mhz and
32.77kHz.
Now, the AT HW ref sais that Bit 6-4 in the RTC info, 0x00-0x0d controls the time base
frequency, defaulting to 010, selcting
32.768kHz as default. So, the RTC can be manipulated by upsetting these 3 bits.
To David: Sorry about the duplicated messages! Some lists make use of the 'Reply'
button, others don't. This one doesn't.
