Please visit my eBay store below for over 700 RARE ATARI/AMIGA/TRS-80 and PC https://www.ebay.com/str/bidfraud Reviewed by Chuck Trunk Are you tired of resetting the date and time every time you turn on your new Atari ST computer? Then the Logikhron Clock Card is for you. It is the first product for the ST that automatically enters the date and time whenever the computer is turned on and maintains correct chronology even while the computer is unplugged. Developed by Softlogik Corp. and marketed by Shanner International, the Logikhron package contains a concise manual, a cartridge and a disk. The cartridge is battery powered and fits into the slot on the left side of the ST. Caution: Never insert or remove the cartridge while the computer is turned on. The disk contains a desk accessory file and a resource file. To install the system, load the GEM desktop in the usual manner. Then copy the files labeled DESK5.ACC and CLOCK.RSC onto your system disk. To set the time and date, put your system disk into drive A and boot your computer. When the desktop appears, click on the Clock option from the file dropdown menu. A dialog box then appears, containing a prompt to input time and date. The procedure is similar to setting the time and date in the control panel. You're now installed and you'll never have to input the time or date when switching between resolutions or booting-which somehow destroys the time and date previously contained in the control panel. In some versions of GEM, there is about a 30-second delay before the control panel will reflect the correct time and date. Don't despair, though, if you have created a file within the initial 30 seconds. The correct time and date will be saved along with the file name and size. The same situation exists when you switch between resolutions. The ST uses an internal clock/calendar when displaying the control panel. The Logikhron software updates this internal clock/calendar only at system boot or change in resolution. I had a few problems with the clock card while using ST-BASIC with GEM in RAM, most probably due to insufficient memory. But problems disappeared when I installed my TOS ROM chips. I feel the clock card is useful and reasonably priced at $49.95. My only criticism is that the complete sealing of the cartridge will prevent changing the battery when it expires. But Shanner offers to install new batteries at a nominal price and expects the original batteries to last at least five years.
