Osborne hardware clock location

I found a hardware clock in BMRAM at location EFCC on an Osborne I that
I was working with.  I forget the resolution, but it was something obvious
once you started peeking at it.  It seemed reliable, but of course is not
mentioned in the documentation, so I decided not to use it for the product
I was developing, since it could go away on any future release of the ROMs.

I use Software Toolworks C for my Osborne developments;  too bad about float
and long, but it's a very solid compiler.  I haven't found any bugs in it for
about a year, unlike a $500 compiler that I've been using on another machine.
