Sorry about that.
A SmartWatch is a chip made by Dallas Semiconductor. It's a real-time clock.
Some of them were made to fit underneath a ROM chip. I thought that since 
the Beeb has a plethora of available ROM sockets, *someone* would have 
implemented a driver for one of these. The Maxim/Dallas DS1216 is supplied 
in a 28 pin socket, into which the ROM chip can be piggy-backed.
