So people working on clock modules that do assess an rtc chip, need to 
avoid those chips which require a 'password', such as the chip in the B&B-
XTC did.  However, free access can also be a problem, and I'll offer the 
clock in the Disto 4n1 as a prime example as it was very susceptible to 
powerup & powerdown noises screwing up its time.  The clock in the TC^3 has 
been the first rtc I've had that seems 100% immune to these sorts of 
problems.

Gene----I'll take that as a compliment.... :)

Thanks,

Mark
