I ran one of those for about a decade, but its been almost that long since 
I bought one of Marks TC^3 scsi controllers, with its own clock.  As a 
real time clock, the disto would have to be in a big fail column because 
power supply noise at turn on, or off, can and often will reset the time 
to anyplace in its epoch.  Then the original driver used the wrong read 
command, so it lost time at about 30 seconds per hour of uptime but kept 
perfect time when powered down if the noises didn't muck it up.

The TC^3 controller and clock Just Works(TM), even with multiple drives 
attached.  I set it so seldom I have to look up the settime syntax every 
time I do reset it.

I doubt my fixes for the disto clock ever made it into the repo because it 
didn't exist when I fixed my copy.

Sorry I can't be more help Bob, but I've not had that hardware in a slot 
in ages.
