I assure you that whatever happened to your clock had nothing to do with replacing the processor--unless an ESD discharge coincidentally occurred when you touched the board/chip. It's much more likely to be a broken trace or bad connection. (Or it may simply be the incredible coincidence that your clock's battery chose *this* particular moment to fail. ;-) If the battery is the problem, then you'll still be able to set and read the clock when the power is on, but it won't hold the date and time when power is switched off. -michael NadaNet and AppleCrate II: parallel computing for Apple II computers!
