I don't know what it's like in your part of the hemisphere, but there's an
atomic clock down in Germany which broadcasts its time. IUt's quite easy to
obtain clocks which rely on its signal, and I've seen designs for a similar
cartridge for the Atari ST. Can't remember whether it plugged into the
parallel or cartridge port.
Hmm, sounds very much like something that would be printed in Elektor or C't.
Anyway, that should be the optimal timekeeping device, assuming you can come
up with the hardware and that you're within reach of the transmitter.

Hackers do it with fewer instructions.
