And I did on the alpha and it didn't even register.

Yes. Somehow I did not read mc146818 as PC standard real time clock :)

That worked.
I have merged the alpha code for this with the code you
have to initialize the SiS chipset and created a mc146818.c
in the pc80 directory.
As soon as I slow down to enough to check in code it will be
in the freebios tree.
