Hello,
I have an IBM 5155 with is a TMC card. It has 2 serial ports, 1 parallel port, 256k and an RTC.
I can't find any information about that (e.g. how to set up the RTC).
Does anyone has information about that?
Thanks!

The IBM 5155 is a nice XT luggable ! It uses a special utility to set time/date like the RTC in a Laser XT/3. I do not know the exact one needed but you could try the two included in the Laser XT utils: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … &menustate=28,0
The two Clock / Time Set / Get utils are in the \XTutil folder. Maybe one of them will work....
I checked http://www.minuszerodegrees.net but could not find any RTC utils for IBM or other.

Can you post a smaller image? I can almost see what the card is.

@ Horum: Thanks! I see what works when I have it back in my possession ... He is now with a friend where there is now Covid in the house. I'll just leave it there for a while! ....
@ luckybob: Sorry, but with Photo resizer this is the smallest I get (19kb)

Hello,
I downloaded the file, tried to open it, but I got the message : Error - operation failed...

What did you try use to open it ? It is 7zipped. Attached are the \XTutils folder with rtc apps from inside it and some generic RTC time utils from minuszero. Pkzip or RAR should open them.

Whell, that is what I tried: to open them... with winRar. I should have said " to extract them" I think...
Sorry..
And that didn't work...
