1181.0. "A2000 Clock - Battery Backup ?" by CAMTWO::ARENDT () Wed Feb 17 1988 13:16

    
    
    I have an AMIGA 2000 which is supposed to have a built in clock.
    I also thought that the clock had a battery backup.  Does any one
    know if this is true, if it is then mine does not work.
    
    Thank You For Your Support

1181.1Did you try this?STARCH::WHERRYSoftware Commandoes Ltd.Wed Feb 17 1988 13:3015
    Yes, it is true.  The Amiga 2000 has a battery backed up clock.
    Note that you need to execute this command to load the clock's
    time into the system.
    
    1> Setclock opt load
    
    This assumes that the command setclock is in your C: directory.
    
    I think the above incantation (opt load) is correct.  The command
    is definately Setclock.  Typically, the startup-sequency file in
    S: has this command somewhere in it.  At least the default
    startup-sequence file I got with my workbench disk had it.

    re.0+.1
    
    You have to set the time first....setclock opt save....and put the
    setclock opt load command in your startup-sequence!
    
    Also, if you haven't already....you have to leave your system on
    for some number of hours to charge the battery the first time!
    Its in the documentation for the module!
