[Coco] OS9 Level I - Clock issue?

[Bill Pierce]

If I remember correctly, the stock clocks (both L1 & L2) are not Y2K compliant. Is there a chance this may have something to do with it? The clocks will not be correct beyond 1999 (IIRC).
There was a fix for this somewhere. I remember having to patch my clock for Y2K. Then I started using the emulators and their clock was already patched.
I just found the patch is on RTSI:

Asmentioned, all these years I don't recall ever taking a second look at theclock when working late on the CoCo under OS9, never bothered to checkuntil now that I had a visual cue on screen due to the Logo Clock programrunning.Maybe I will - as an exercise - disassemble the clock module and see if Ican find the cause of the one day ahead flip upon the 00:00 hour :-)-- RP-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coc
