Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I find the solution :
time$="23:20:00"
date$="11/07/2014"

and when I boot the board, time and date are OK !!!

RTC GETTIME and RTC SETTIME are MicroMite commands, which won't work on the full size Maximite units, as you have discovered. Well done on working it out and posting back though.

Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

RTC GETTIME and RTC SETTIME works also on a Maximite but with a PCF8563 RTC card

CGColorMax1 as a RTC DS1307 on board, (controled by I2C)
but with MMBasic version 4.5 date and time are read at boot
TIME$ and DATE$ are ok
