Thank you! I'm glad you like it and find it useful! I have made a few
updates to it since I posted here, but
nothing critical. I did add a short version of each parameter, so /SETTIM
can be specified as /ST, etc.
I didn't know about the year either at first. But then I read somewhere the
TCU-100 and up have the year
and the -50 doesn't. Having it hardcoded works for now though. It only has
to change once a year.
I haven't found any replacement NiCD cells so I ended up replacing them
with a CR2032 battery and a
diode on mine, so it will keep the time when the power is off. If you know
a source for the NiCD cells,
please let me know.

Nice work. I have one of those qbus cards and am
trying to break into
using RSX11M. I didn't realize that the year was not on the TCU-50

Hi all,
I have recently gotten my TCU-50 clock board to work in my PDP-11/23+,
and
needed a utility
that made it easier to manage it. So I put together a little Macro11
program to help me.
I don't know if anyone else has one of these boards but just in case, I
thought I'd share it. I have
it in a repository at github:
https://github.com/kg4okg/tcuclk/
I am a newbie at Macro11 so don't expect anything fancy. :)
