DOS Compatibility Card Time Set Only at Startup

You cannot change the time on the DOS Compatibility Card "on the fly." That is, you cannot switch from Windows on the DOS card ot the MacOS, change the time, then cahnge back into Windows, expecting the time to change in the Windows environment.

The time and date information for the DOS Compatibility Card are set at startup. The MS-DOS/Windows clock reads the Macintosh clock once at startup, then runs on its own. This means you must restart the DOS Compatibility Card in order for any time or date changes to take effect.
