The best one I've ever had is the one in Cloud-9's scsi controller, now 
long out of stock.  Kept great time  powered down, lost a few seconds an 
hour booted up. But I dissed the clock module and found it was stopping 
the clock for a couple milliseconds every 10 minutes while it synched 
the coco's clock, changed the code to just lock the ripple counter, not 
the whole clock. Works well right now.

Most of the other clock chips that I've had either weren't that accurate, 
or in the case of the disto 4n1 clock, often set to random times by 
power up or power down noise.
