Does anyone know how to set the time to 2007 in lieu of 1907? Thanks for any help. Macdog.My Timemaster set to 2007 (I had to go back and look) using the same utility you did. This is really strange. Sorry I can't be more help.For some reason, I thought these cards were not Y2K compatible at all. I know mine isn't. If you have one that set's to 2007 I would be really curious about it. When did you get it etc... Is there any identifiable info on the card and disks that you could copy here for comparison? BryanThe clock card is Rev B (on the back) and Rev .4 on a chip. I have no idea where my original software disk is. From way back in my memory, if you are using Appleworks, don't you need to update the years table every seven years? Although I have no idea if this has anything to do with your problem.
No, you need to update it regardless. The date is computed by ProDOS for all applications. Of course, this will only update the "years" part of the date, not the "century" part, which is supplied by applications. The unfortunate part is that most applications were written before the promulgation of the 1940..2039 window, and so they don't compute the century appropriately. Most just use a constant "19", so with some work, you can patch the constant to "20"--which still leaves older dates inaccurate. An obvious annoyance is that any date sort will have 2000+ dates listed "earlier" than 1900+ dates. -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
