ClockCard (Win 95/98/Me) ClockCard is an optional 8-bit ISA PC card with its own built-in- clock and battery. When installed in your PC, ClockCard replaces the real time clock (RTC) with its own. The ClockCard screen in ClockWatch allows the user to set how often the Operating System time clock is updated from the ClockCard RTC. Updating the O/S clock from the ClockCard RTC is a good way to stabilize a system with erratic time keeping. It is useful to keep time between settings with external timeservers or where external timeservers are unavailable.
ClockCard functions independently from the other ClockWatch time setting functions. When used by itself, ClockCard can be used as the primary time source, or, when used in conjunction with external time setting sources, can serve as a secondary time source. Tip: Settings from ClockCard update the operating system clock from the hardware (BIOS) clock. Settings made from external timeservers update both the O/S and hardware clocks. Note: The ClockCard setting screen is for systems running Windows 95 or Windows 98 only. Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems automatically update the operating system time from the BIOS every hour. Sync Now - Set the Operating System time to the ClockCard manually. |
