SYMBiFACE II:Realtime clock

132 bytes removed, 31 March
/* Bugs */
* Register 32h source code supports only two centuries (19 and 20) this is probably due to misunderstanding the RTC chip datasheet (which sorts of suggests the 8bit RAM location can contain only two different values, which is total nonsense)
* Whether other RAM locations are reserved for whatever purpose (like info about connected 40/80 track drives) is unknown. See note 1 please.
* The RAM capacity is 50 bytes: register 0Eh..3Fh (although SYMBiFACE II is incorrectly advertised to have 128 byte persistent RAM)
Note 1: In the discmag [[Future View IV]] a proposal is given how to use the non volatile RAM of the SYMBiFACE II and the CPC-Booster+.
