The DNS for staticip.cx is served by my little machine, and the DSL was
down for a while last night. I gotta set up that secondary DNS... In the
meantime, 216.100.248.143 is fine, like Jonathan said.

D'oh! My page said the hour hand was geared down by a factor of sixty

I just got h8300-hitachi-hms-g++ built yesterday. :) The clock spins
really fast with the motor running steadily, so you could even switch to
another timezone at the press of the View button. In the meantime, I
use Kekoa's send.c to set the RCX's digital clock display.
BTW, I just split the building instructions into five sections, to make it
a somewhat less painful download. Enjoy,
