You are literal aren't you. Fine--- 1000 meters down a coal mine
instead. And no there need not be any telemetry capability-- just a
visit once a month. It is not true that simply having the operator enter
a time and date at startup is a trivial solution to the problem.

Yes solutions are possible, but often not that one.

Actually the first IBM PC _didn't_ have a real time clock, that
only came in slightly later, either the XT or AT.  If you ever ran
MSDOS with no autoexec.bat you'd get a reminder of this even years
later since the default action was to obtain the time and date for
this very reason.  It's also the reason for the ~18.2Hz clock
interrupt under DOS - it was contrived to overflow a 16 bit counter
at the top of the hour so that the hour and date registers could
be updated.

See the above, but these days why would you bother in a networked

The RTC was part of the AT specification, but the XT/286 also already 
had one.  Regular XTs did not have an RTC yet, though. ;-)

The XT/286 actually appeared AFTER the AT, to backport some of the
additions of the AT into a "lower cost" XT-class system.

Indeed, the XT/286 must be a very rare machine.
Of course then there were still people who believed that you could
never be wrong (or be blamed) when buying IBM.

We had one at work back in 1987, along with the latest EGA card (640x350 
4 colours). Our BBC Micro was still faster at just about everything. You 
could probably emulate it faster on the Raspberry Pi using python.

It was 35 at best.  The Altair 8800 is only 40 years old this year.

There was no hardware clock in the IBM PC.  Endless add on boards to do 
that, yet all they did was save the user from having to enter the time 
every time they turned on their computer.  The software didn't go to the 
hardware clock every time it needed to time stamp a file, it used the 
software clock that wsa keeping track of real time.

My Radio Shack Color Computer had no hardware clock, yet it kept track of 
real time when I ran Microware OS-9 on it.  All I had to do is enter the 
time and date on startup, and the files were timestamped.

Circa 1976 you would have seen a very different definition, and since I at 
lwast wsa reading the computer magazines back then, I'm not confused.

A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of 
an integrated circuit) that keeps track of the current time. Although 
the term often refers to the devices in personal computers, servers and 
embedded systems, RTCs are present in almost any electronic device which 
needs to keep accurate time.

Although keeping time can be done without an RTC,[1] using one has benefits:

Low power consumption[2] (important when running from alternate power)
Frees the main system for time-critical tasks
Sometimes more accurate than other methods
A GPS receiver can shorten its startup time by comparing the current 
time, according to its RTC, with the time at which it last had a valid 
signal.[3] If it has been less than a few hours, then the previous 
ephemeris is still usable.

The RTC was introduced to PC compatibles by the IBM PC/AT in 1984, which 
used a Motorola MC146818 RTC. Later, Dallas Semiconductor made 
compatible RTCs, which were often used in older personal computers, and 
are easily found on motherboards because of their distinctive black 
battery cap and silkscreened logo. In newer systems, the RTC is 
integrated into the southbridge chip.[10]

Some microcontrollers have a real-time clock built in, generally only 
the ones with many other features and peripherals.

No, you are getting the two clocks confused. The RTC was a real clock
which you could read and get from it the year month day hour minute
second. It could be set up to set an interrupt on the second. 
The computer system clock was a  set of interrupts from the crystal
driving the cpu, which was and is designed to issue an interrupt once
every 1/18 sec originally and now more frequently but had nothing but
the interrupt. No time information. That was the duty of the interrupt
routine which counted the interrupts and assignes a time to them.

However IIRC the MSDOS version of time and date was updated by the 18Hz 
timer interrupt (in fact it was usually programmable: I had it running 
over 1Khz on one project). It wasn't very accurate at all.


We were well into Win98 or so before NTP time became available on PCs 
and one could guarantee that a roomful of them were more or less marking 
files with the same timestamps.

Not quite, I think.  The interrupt routine only counted and tested for
having reached, IIRC, hex 1800B0, at which it set a count of 0 and set a
"tomorrow" flag.  The standard routines for accessing date and time, if
the flag had been set, first incremented a daycount and cleared the
flag; then they translated the counts to Y M D or H M S C.

The effects of directly setting hex 1800B0 or more were mildly amusing.

Set up a cron job to touch a file every minute.  At bootup set the

In fact, the Rasperry Pi already has that.  It is called fake-hwclock.

But it apparently is not sufficient for the hypothetical use case.
