IBM PS/2/IBM ValuePoint - Time of day clock

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
The software Time of Day (TOD) Clock in the PS/2 and Valuepoint systems is not intended to be a precision time keeping device. Its purpose is for operator convenience.There are no written TOD specifications and the accuracy of the clock varies depending on system activity. The TOD clock is interrupt driven. therefore variations may occur which are not hardware failures. In circumstances where critical timing is required, an alternate time keeping device should be considered.
