And where, pay tell, should we fit the flux capacitor?

Oh, that is one cultural reference too many. I'll be leaving now.

A true Steampunk clock would have an Hourglass and dials with cogs :)

Otherwise a first board was dispatched today to an undisclosed french member, so expect some feedback soon ;)

Thanks for the explanation.  :)  So setting some jumpers to in and ext can change the ROM number according to the bit. Good to know!  :)

- correcting Y2K bug. This is how it's done: the leap years during 20th and 21th century are, by definition, at the same tens and units of years. I mean: leap years were 1904 1908 1912 ... and now they are 2004 2008 2012... So for any given date, the day of the week between 20th and 21th century is shifted by a fixed amount: -1.Meaning: 22/06/1915: Tuesday (day of week 2)                22/06/2015: Monday (day of week 1)and this is true for any day of the year.So I hex edited the two letter codes for the days, replacing TUesday by MOnday, etc etc.


OK so we can expect a Y3K bug  :-X   ;D

Actually the calendar is good up to 2099, by then I swear I'll replace all EPROMs for free  :D

TFM

Up to then we will have a self adjusting software for sure.  :P

The worst it could do is tell the wrong time or no time at all, and only till you reboot. Not exactly a major threat :D

Ups, yes, you're right. I referred to the SYMBiFACE II clock, which has some RAM.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :) :) :)

Yeah, a SymbiFace Virus! :D It looks like Windows, so to be truly authentic it should have viruses :)

Would be so easy to do this for SymbOS and then the only Anti-Virus-Software will run under FutureOS *rofl*

Hi !
Received Yesterday !!! Very well made, it is very neat ;-) great job.
I'll post some pictures when i have time. Also, i didn't have time to test it. I keep it for this weekend.

TFM

I'm curious if TIMEROM+.COM will work even when the clock is at ROM number &72. If not, an quick patch will do it.  :)

I guess it was made along the same lines as the TIMEROM rom, so I expect a patch will indeed be needed.
However at position 2 (standalone mode) it will.

TFM

Ok here is a patched TIMEROM+ which scans ROMs 1-127. I call it TIMEROM#  :laugh:


Let me know it it works please!  :)
