Subject: Master ET

I have the same real-time clock problem with one of my FileStore E01Ses,
which uses the
same clock chip.  I never got to the bottom of it so any help would be much
appreciated.

Best wishes,


Ian

Subject: [BBC-Micro] Master ET

I've been fixing up a couple of Masters I've got, including the Master ET
I recently got from
Wales. Once I'd put a mains cable on and fixed the resultant exploded capacitor,
then reset the
CMOS and configured it, it seems to work, except a wierd problem with the
RTC. It runs much too
fast. Does anybody know what might be causing this? I thought maybe the RTC
needs good batteries to
work even with the machine switched on, but this was just a guess and I wonder
if anyone could shed
any light on this before I go and make up a battery pack.

I'll probably be putting the machine on eBay anyway, because I've got far
too many computers, and
the ET is completely useless to me (although I'd love a working Econet).
