Hi guys.

Thanks for the responses!

@David: Thanks - that looks like the text file shown on the v1.4 DSK
from Antoine. I didn't see this file on asimov. Where was it? (The
other disks are in images/hardware/clock.)

@Antoine: Thanks! Very useful - the version on Asimov is 1.2.

@Michael: Very interesting! The scanned NSC manual talks about 1-7
with a different mapping, which could be done without the hardware
changing. But using a value of 0 is a breaking change, requiring
different hardware (unless there is an undocumented config bit). Do
you have any docs that mention the 0=SUN? And would you possibly have
time to try the drivers/utils from Asimov/Brutal Deluxe on your 0-
based DOW NSC clock to see if they work?

I mean, if there is different hardware, I wonder if they use different
activation patterns ...

Cheers,
Nick.
