[Coco] Survey of Coco realtime clock users

[Rogelio Perea]

Same here Robert. I have the Tandy SmartWatch DS1216 chip installed in my
FD502 disk controller. I must have installed it in 1992 or so, by then the
SmartWatch had been on the RS store shelves for a while. I remember I had to
take out the original socket on the controller board to make the whole thing
fit with the controller case closed together. That was a bit more than 15
years ago, it still running :-)
