That's test #1: will the date rollover while the machine is up (which, unlike PCs and certain other platforms >;-) , is the normal condition of the 3K)? Thanks for sharing; what version of MPE does your 922 run? Test #2 is perhaps not as much of an issue for the 3K as it is for our PCs et. al.: SETCLOCK to a few minutes of midnight 12/31/1999. Shutdown and power off long enough for the clock to rollover. Restart. Again, since the 3Ks I know of stay up 24 x 7, this is probably only a consideration for those that don't (although the only reason I can think of to routinely down a 3K is if you know that you are running memory leaky C code, and why would you want to do that?). Perhaps our HP engineers can clarify the behavior of the hardware / firmware that controls this. >---------- >From: [log in to unmask][SMTP:[log in to unmask]] >Sent: Monday, November 18, 1996 11:18 AM >To: [log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: Year 2000/HP Letter > >We shut down our crash'and'burn 922LX, started it up and set the date to >December 31, 1999.
