I know i can still buy the chip but would be nice to replace it with something like Necroware's NW12887 RTC module or equal, but what i do understand it is not the same as DS12887 as DS12C887 "it uses the century byte differently to a PS/2"?
The DS12887 is not Year 2000 compliant, but of course PS/2s are compliant except that a manual reset of the date is required at the start of the year 2000. Do not be tempted to use the Year 2000 compliant upgrade to the DS12887, which is designated the DS12C887; it uses the century byte differently to a PS/2 and will apparently not work.
The board manual says "Dallas RTC battery or compatible" and has DS12C887 i feel its a bitt unclear 😀
if any one have any information feel free to share 😀
naa, nothing yet...
