Hi, I have an IBN 5150 with a Tecmar Captain memory expansion/real time clock. This card came with a software suite (Treasure Chest) which among other things includes the utility to read and write the date/time to the RTC.

I found a working copy of the RTC read write utility on minus zero degrees (copyright 1987). https://www.minuszerodegrees.net/rtc/tecmar/t … k_utilities.zip
I want to get the whole Treasure Chest suite but I can't find a version new enough. The newest version I have found is 1.4 (copyright 1984/85) and does not appear to be compatible with the rtc.
Anyone know if/where newer versions are available?

Welcome to Vogons 😀

The same set of programs as appear in Treasure Chest are also found in the TECDESK (Multifunction board utilities) file from 1985-87 ...https://web.archive.org/web/19970723045440/ht … ics/tecdesk.zip as listed here...https://web.archive.org/web/20001012162330fw_ … oad/memory.html

Many thanks, that appears to be the exact version the time utilities were extracted from on minuszerodegrees.
