Real Time Clock Board

By the way, is there a TIMEROM+ manual?
I can't find it anywhere. The .DSK at the wiki page contains a TIMEROM+.DOC file but it's about the TIMEROM+.COM utility for CP/M.
I'm struggling with some of the RSXs and I can't find the correct syntax.

EXACTLY my thoughts! I put time rom+ on winape to test it, and it took me 15 minutes to figure out how to get time using the rsx command!
It's really rather weird, first you set a string variable (at a min of 8-9 space characters), and then you pass it as argument to the |TIME rsx command:
a$="          ":|time,a$:print a$
This will give you the time on basic prompt. Exactly the same goes for DATE. Although weird, maybe it does make sense, if you think that main usage of getting date/time will be mostly as a string variable used in programs, and not just getting it at basic prompt
Anyway, apart from getting date/time (and the bigwatch), i couldn't manage to do anything else, like stop clock or set date/time to different values. I tried to use the same method to pass time  as argument with SET.TIME, but although it seemed to work (no error upon executing rsx command), reading again time, gave me the real time and not the one i set. Maybe this is due to partial implementation of RTC in winape? 
Anyway, it would be very useful to have a mini guide on how to use the various rsx commands

Yes, emulators generally don't implement setting time. The RTC emulation is only there for retrieving time from the host computer.

WinApe doesn't like some ROMs, especially German ROMs like X-DDOS and TIMEROM. As pointed out before, emulators are not usable for checking RTC related software.

The TIMEROM RSX can be shown by any ROM (MAXAM, X-DDOS etc.) which provide the !HELP,rom-number RSX.

More precise information is in the TIMEROM ROM manual... or have a look into the great English manual from @dxs here...
