How does DOS time work?

Well,  it appears that generic DOS uses the CLOCK device for setting
and getting the current time.  I installed a CLOCK device that 
talks to the 6300's internal clock to set and get the time, so
it seems to be working now.  THe only problem is that the internal
clock ignores the seconds when being set.  So, if you set the time
at the start of a minute, everything works well.

Thanks for the help.
