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.

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.
