Recommendations on a clock for an enhanced //e



It looks like my ThunderClock Plus has lost the ability to store time.
I had held onto it knowing that interrupts could be programmed and hoped
at one point to begin tweaking with a multitasking kernel, but now all
that fun has ended (sigh)

What would be the best replacement for my ThunderClock?  I have several
hard drives connected and I'd like to have a time/date stamp placed on
files without having to enter the date manually.

I know AE and Thunderware made slot-based clocks and I also know of the
"no-slot" clock, but I'm concerned about compatibility.

ProDOS (1.0.1) knew about the ThunderClock Plus and required no patching
even with later versions (up to 2.0.3) aside from year calculations.
I plan on keeping my //e beyond 2000, and I'm concerned about whether
the AE flavors and the no-slot clock support beyond 2000.

So here are my questions:

[1] which clocks do not require patching with ProDOS 2.0.3?
[2] does the no-slot clock require a patch for ProDOS 2.0.3? 
[3] which clocks support proper operation with accelerators?
[4] which clocks allow for the enabling of interrupt timing?

Much thanks in advance!
