One or two people who are running without clock chips have
mentioned that they have trouble running NetBSD; in particular, their
systems crash on running "date". Phil is obviously better qualified
for answering this, but I think that the "probe" routine for the clock
chip presents the clock chip enable pattern on the ROM address lines,
reads back a number of bytes and compares them with a ROM monitor
signature. If the ROM monitor signature is not _exactly_ the same as
the one Phil is using, you will end up with a system that thinks there
is a clock chip, and a system time that is slightly inaccurate ;-)

	My pc532 is not working, at the moment. I got hold of an extra
disk drive, saw that there was no room in the case for the drive,
bought a *big* tower case, moved the pc532 across and zapped 8MBytes
of RAM in the process. Argh.
