I have a No Slot Clock installed in my //e which because its battery has
long since died I need to set the time when I start the //e up. That will keep time as long as the //e is powered up but it's off a day, today is Tuesday but it thinks it's Monday.
Is there a version of ProDOS or a patch to fix that? Currently I have
v2.0.2
installed. I've downloaded v2.4.3 but haven't installed it yet and if it doesn't fix the issue I'd rather not I guess.
Any advice?
Thanks, Mark Wade

Still don't know what to do with a .po file though.

A .PO file is an uncompressed disk image where the data is stored a sequential ProDOS blocks (ie. block 0, block 1, all the way to block 279
for a standard 5.25" floppy). There are programs like DiskMaker that
can write that data back to a floppy disk and I believe there is even a
IIgs program that can let you use that file like a RAM disk (I think the program is called MountIt but it has been a very long time since I've
needed to do such a thing).
I have a CFFA3000 in my IIgs so I just use it to mount disk images as
drives and copy things off them if I want.

You really should get the NSC out of there before the battery leaks, and makes a mess of your motherboard.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. I know ReActiveMicro has a version
with replaceable batteries. I'll look to that when I can afford it,
hopefully it will be available. I'd hate to lose the clock/timestamp.
Thanks.
