Isn't this just par for the course on old OS9 versions?
It is on the MM/1 OSK, or OS9/68K version 2.4. I just put up with the
century-old year. It does cause the day of the week to be off by one, though.
When you read such OS9 floppies into a PC, the date will be 28 years into the
future!
Back to the Coco -- I don't know if the battery is still running my B&B RTC,
which is built into my hard drive interface, and *did* keep everything
correctly until Y2K.
