First post... Hi! ;D
Just finished putting together a NeXTStep 3.3 white box setup using a Pentium II and various compatible cards (graphics, network, scsi). It was pretty straight forward the only exception being getting the Etherlink III 3C509B-TPO working. For that, I needed to run 3Com's DOS based configuration tool to grab the proper address value out. But everything's up now and working great.... cept one thing.
Looks like I'm unable to change the date/time to today's date. I remember seeing a message during install about a "preposterous date/time" and now no matter how many times I attempt to change it, it won't take and keeps resetting back to an old date/time. Is this a known issue?
