If you get the August(?) 1990 issue of Rainbow, you'll find listings that serve
as a software equivalent to the IRQ Hack more commonly (it seems) implemented
in hardware.  The article has listings to patch the Clock and Init modules,
along with a detailed explanation of what your system is doing now and will do
after you patch.  You will have to type a Basic-09 program to make the patch
based on the listings which contain the patches themselves.  If you have SACIA
as opposed to DACIA, I'd suggest you check which SACIA driver you're using. 
There's a special one which has a .mpi extension.  That's the one I use with my
SACIA.  Now the Rainbow patches are designed for the stock Clock modules.  I
don't have any real time clock so your Disto unit will make things more
complicated. You may be limited to the hardware IRQ hack, and that means you
can't use the .mpi driver that I use (you will have to use the other one whose
extension I don't recall).  You might searchthe Libs on the key Disto and see
if anything turns up.
