My battery was leaking and starting to corrode the leads, so I removed
it.  But even after I removed it, I could still set the clock to any
time I want and it would start counting from that time.  It worked
like this for a couple of weeks and the computer was being shut down
every night.  Then I started playing with a 65c02-14 chip that I got
and the computer hung every time on startup.  I gave up and replaced
the original 65c02 but now I can't even set the clock any more.  Only
the seconds and minutes remember what I entered, but they don't count
up, and the hours counter counts up randomly by 5-7 hours which makes
the days count up rapidly.  I might try reinstalling a battery to see
if that will calm down the counters.  But who knows.
