I booted NitrOS9 with a disk image I created to boot MESS, which has the 
MESS clock module.
While it read the date correctly, the hours part was always 12 hours more 
than it should have been. So, if the time was 18:00 the clock read 30:00.
When I finally created a boot disk with the cloud9 clock2 module, the time 
was correct.
