Well, after running the clock for awhile I noticed that it kept less than accurate time. Infact, it lost a minute every hour. I went nuts trying to figure out why that was, but then I realized that the frames and seconds were counting from 60 to 0 which is actually 61 counts not 60. So each minute took 61 seconds instead of 60 and this resulted in the loss of a minute everyhour. This version of the digital clock counts from 59 to 0 so this timing problem should be fixed and the clock should be accurate. I have it roughly sycronized to the clock on the VCR that my 2600 is currently hooked up to. I'll let it run for a day or so and see if the numbers still match up. It's amazing how the tiniest little things can throw such a big spanner into the works. CRACKERS (So far so good from hell!!!!!!!)
