I have an AST Combo Plus card in my IBM PC XT. While most features of the on-board RTC seem to work fine, it only seems to advance the time while the system is on. So, for example, if I have the time set properly, and I turn the computer off at 4:30 PM, and then I wait half an hour and turn the computer back on, the clock will be set to 4:30 PM, and not to 5:00 PM. This defeats the purpose of the RTC. Otherwise, it works fine. I can use ASTCLOCK.COM /R and then set the time and date and it will save it. It will retrieve the time and date when I start it up (although it'll be the time it thought it was when I shut it down last.) and it will advance time while the system is on. I'm really not sure what would cause this. The battery is only a few months old. I have been away for a while so I don't know if this was a problem when I first put it in or not. If anyone has any ideas, I'd obviously love to hear. Thanks!
