Allo, I set my Quadra 610 up with Debian GNU/Linux, works great, etc etc. No problems there, so I leave it running and doing its thing. A part of the week later I come back to find the system time set to December 2nd, 2001. I thought I might've misadjusted the date when I set the machine up (even though I remember doing it.) I set the date back in sync with time.nist.gov and I let it sit for awhile more while I cleaned up the apartment, and I come back to find it an hour behind, having been gone perhaps half an hour. This goes on in a similar fashion.
What's the problem here? I do not believe it's the battery (feel free to correct me,) because it keeps pace with my other clocks when powered off, and unplugged even. I've got a dead battery Performa next to it that resets its date to the mid seventies whenever it comes back on. And besides, the machine has been powered and running continually. Some sort of Linux/68k issue with "idling"? I dunno. I just find moving four days into the future and losing six months on the system clock a little odd. Suggestions welcome. =) Andrew -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
