  • How to set the RTC?

    From Bob Alexander@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 13 15:36:14 2021
    I've replaced the battery in my Unix PC 7300. How do I set the real time clock? Can it only be done from the Diags disk, or is there a command in the OS to do it?

    Thank you.

    Thank you.

    The OS has the date command.

    I have a date-y2k here that can set the date in 2000 on. http://www.pdp8online.com/3b1/files/usr/local/bin/
