Re: Setting hwclock time
Jack,
Shaul has replied with reference material, but I had some problems
with setting the hw clock. I got many answers =-- new bios, etc.
Then someone suggested that I reboot with a dos floppy, set the hw
clock to this century and that fixed my problem with two old
machines.
It is worth a try. Hope this helps.
