OS 6, 7.5 date patch?

[indigo_k]

One thing I've run into running OS 7.5.3 on vintage hardware is that the system date stops at around 2012. Has there been a patch update to allow actual current dates in the system? I remember someone did this for Newton software some time ago, hoping there's one for the 68K systems as well.

Yep, 2020Patch will fix you right up: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/2020patch

Oh excellent, thank you!

To avoid the need for yet another Control Panel or Extension, my turn-to solution is the PRAM 5.0 app. It let's me set the 4-digit year of my choice. No extension or control panel required to maintain that date.
