[Coco] Drivewire/Superdriver feature request, and questions

David,
All Cloud-9 products to date used the DS1315-5 RTC and all at the same address. The IDE and SCSI ports are at different addresses of course.
So just pick one and remove it. Be careful, they are not cheap....
Our Gen3 platforms will be using the DS1307 on the Xmegas I2C bidir bus, NTP sync'd and all with configurable server list.

Actually we are currently doing this...just have'nt released anything yet.
Regards,
 Mark Marlette

Thanks guys, I got it figured out, the cards were set for the same address.
I need to know which chip on the TC^3 is the clock, so I can remove it, The
TC^3 and the Super IDE both have RTC's in them and I don't want the two
cocks to conflict.
