Since I posted the source code on github, I thought Id make this new post
I made a program with Retro68 cross compiler with a strange likeness to the like clock Maclock. Watch out for the clock bug, where DAY does not match date. I find 1998 works for this year. @This Does Not Compute gave me the idea when he converted the clock into a vintage Mac, I wanted to see if I could do the opposite. I'm sure this will run on his tiny 'Mac' and restore Maclock function
