The Question is: Rich Southgate wrote in as quoted in http://www.openvms.digital.com/wizard/wiz_1540.html >how to you get the OS to write the time back to the TOY clock. >I'm faced with the same issue on VMS's realtime cousin, VAXELN I sent a fews years in ELNland. We ran into the same issue. There was no problem during development because a time stamp is embedded in the image that is loaded using MOP. When we started to boot the image from disk the time was always way back in the 1800s. Even when we would set the time is would go away after a reboot. The solution was to write a program that would store the system time to the TOY clock. This was not to hard since the locations were memoroy mapped. The hard part was getting ahold of the haredware manual that documented the locations. When had little problem on the VAXstation 4000/60 but the /90 required a special request as there was some issue like it was never published. Sumithra Reddy at the Atlanta Customer Support Center helped in this. (The support from the real-time group is unmatched in my twenty years of programming!) The company I was at at the time was Amistar. See: http://www.amistar.com At the time Dan Finn danf@amistar.com), V.P. of Engineering, was responsible for the project. They might be willing to make the code avaiable as it is not related to the surface mount features of the product. Any or all of the above my be destorted as it has been more than six weeks ago. :-) -- C.W.Holeman II | cwhii@iname.com | http://home.earthlink.net/~cwhii/ To only a fraction of the human race does God give the privilege of earning one's bread doing what one would have gladly pursued free, for passion.
