	And, unfortunately, this is one of those times.  One of the chips died after
two or three weeks, and when a NoSlot Clock dies it is no longer recognized by
it's software, so it's NOT possible to just reset it after each boot up.  

	Another chip is still going strong after a month, as is the bad chip'
replacement.  How long will they last?  Probably not the 10 years that they
were design for.
