/* Real Time Clock */
This Real Time Clock addon was published as a DIY project in a special edition of the the German
magazine: [[CPC Schneider International]](Sonderheft, #3-1986)

Like most other homecomputers of the era, the Amstrad CPC did not include a Real Time Clock.

This project overcomes this limitation.

== Technical specs ==

Based around: SUWA RTC-58321

Ports used: FBxx, on the device there is a jumper that determines the value of xx.

== Commercial versions ==

At least two companies are known to have produced their own Real Time Clock solutions:

[[Dobbertin Real Time Clock]]

[[Dk'tronics Real Time Clock]]

== How to build a RTC interface (German) ==
