OK so the comp mod is off and I'm now testing with this that arrived today:

It's very neat and I'm pretty pleased with it, but it turns out the one LR1220 battery I have is dead, so it's forgetting the time!!!

Better go and order some.

Looks good. Good job I ordered some 1220s last week then.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Hmm, I just checked and the battery has 3.1v which should be fine so I've asked the guy who sent it because there may be some other way to set the cart and I'm not doing it right.

So he got back to me and confirmed that the clock has to be set once the date & time are set.

So to set the time you use the :time command, and for the date it's the :date command, much like in MSDOS.

However that needs to be written to the cartridge, and to do that issue the :hwrite command :)

All working for me now I have a battery in it.

The manual is here too for reference.
