I've an idea about that: I have a relais on the alarmline of the clock:
Because of a bug in the bios of MSX this line is doing strange when changing
time while in DOS(2) Maybe the same bug is keeping the clock from running
now, so try setting time and date from Basic (set clock "xx:xx:xx") and set
date "xx/xx/xx"
good luck.
