There is no RAM in the clock chip (and even if you have a clock chip with RAM it only has 4 bit nybbles and would never get executed anyway). It can't be done, period. There are some bits in the clock chip you can stomp on that are annoying such as the TEST bit, but no damage to your system, data, or programs is possibe. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
