I suspect the built in hardware clocks of these machines will not survive
the rollover, and may not work again afterwards, but assuming the machines
can still boot after Y2K, ELKS does not rely on the CMOS clock. Any method
you want can be used to set the system time, including entering it by hand,
or querying a central server. You could even set the clocks back 10 years
deliberatly, and then configure ELKS to add 10 years to the time it reads
from the hardware clock.
