There's no internal clock in the Atari ST. The only things which may be
messed up are 3rd party external clock cartridges. So far, I haven't come
across a list of Y2K-compliant software for the ST's, but the number of
apps that use time/date are few (i.e. BBS software, etc.).

OK, I've got someone asking me if there Atari
ST's are Y2k. Considering
the fact that the only Atari I've got working is a TT030 and I've not
touched it in a couple years (can't even get to it at the moment), does
anyone have any ideas on this? I don't even remember if you can set the
data on a ST. It sounds like a they've got 520's.
Somehow I don't think they're up to attempting a TOS upgrade, if you can
still get the necessary parts to accomplish that. Somehow I think the best
answer for them is to set the clock back.
On a related subject does Win95 barf if you've not bothered to set the
clock back? Who knows when I'll next bother to turn on my Win95 laptop at
work (I use it for about 5 minutes a month, if that).
