This morning I tested the 486 (we upgraded in 5/94) on our SLA-250 with
a program called TEST2000.EXE. I got the free program from
http://www.rightime.com - they are out to sell a program that will fix
your problem machines. TEST2000.EXE works by setting the time to
23:59:58 on 12/31/99, and letting the machine roll into 2000, then
rebooting and checking for problems. Our 486 came through with no
problems. Now the only question is, will 3D's software handle a date
like 04/27/00? I have set the 250's date forward to 04/27/00, and will
monitor and let you all know.
Regards,
