Maybe your machine / PROM is too old. I remember that the not-so-old
B-class machines have a menu option for setting the TOY clock somewhere
deep in some menu.

Yes. But they are maybe not that critical as the current und I have the
hope that GCC 4.x generates faster PA-RISC code. GCC 3.x seems to be
quite suboptimal in that area.

Most likely the TOY clock is accessed via firmware calls.
[peek into manual]
Yes, there is a PDC_TOD.
