I believe the big difference was in the current-supplying capability on the +15V rail -- 1A vs. 4A. I haven't had to dig into a 5409730 though, and haven't looked through the print sets. I believe it was mentioned as an upgrade thing in one of the technical manuals I'd read some time ago. It would

Are you able to set the date and time on your clock?  I had disconnected one end of the diode in the charge circuit and powered the clock from a lithium primary cell.  I got all 8s when the battery went dead but when it was in that state when I tried to set the date and time any commands after

Paul, It will accept the set time command, but this has no effect. An error read shows code 16, "real time lost". The clock chip seems dead, nothing happening when looking at the test output after sending the test mode request. Marc -Original Message- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@

Thanks, I’ll see if I can find replacements. You can easily see how they get zapped: they are 2.5V chips, the NiCd battery *is* the voltage regulator. Charging circuit is a simple diode connected to 5V via a resistor. Battery dies, goes high impedance, somebody plugs it in to try it out and poof
