Re: No Slot Clock - Damaged?

["Gus Vilomar" <gvilomar@bellsouth.net>]

It was working fine for 3 days.  It could have been a coincidence but when I
"booted up" with Texas II's Prosel8 4 Y2k patch for the first time after
installing the NSC chip, the clock stopped working.  Again, it could have
been a coincidence or maybe the Y2k patch of Prosel8 4 corrupted the time on
the chip.  Another possible problem, again a coincidence, could have been
that the "battery" ran out - but batteries tend to last a decade or so and
I've only had the chip for 3 weeks.

Any other thoughts?  If I can't fix it, I may have to buy a new chip.
