Now why am I not suprised that people here have these fine devices.... I noticesd that somebody made much the same ocmment on the MoHPC forum. I can assure you that I hadn't seen that before I posted... As an aside, has anyone ever seen the battery box for this clock? I think it was much te same size (a quarter-width module) and held a number of D cells (in series/parellel?) I am just curious as to what it looekd like, how many cells, how they were connected, etc. -tony
