Hi Bob, I've just this minute joined this list, because I Tymserve 2100 unit we have at work has just started doing the same thing, at just gone 1am UT on May 3rd. I've also tried restarting and power cycling (this is somewhat convoluted as the unit is ~3000 miles away from me) but it's firmly stuck in 1995

Ours is currently running Rev 3.1 :
5 ? version
Boot Code - Tymserve_2100
  Rev 1.1   12/20/1996 13:07:21
Main Code - TymServe_2100
  Rev 3.1   08/22/2002 12:15:37

After a power cycle, our unit comes up as follows:
3 ? time
JAN 01 1995 00:01:53.687252
After the GPS has locked this changes to:
5 ? time
SEP 17 1995 20:14:35.479915
Where 20:14 was the correct UT time.

cheers

Chris

My Tymserve 2100 gps unit (Rev 4.1) thinks it's 1995 -- September 17, 1995.

But a restart (connect via telnet and give the commands util restart) brings it 
back to the correct time and date -- for a while? I haven't caught it dropping 
back, so i don't know if it's doing this on the hour, after an hour, or what, 
but I noticed it last night, and I've restarted it a few times today.

Any clues?

I know about the off-by-a-second issue with the pending leap second. This one 
is more interesting!

So far I've just been issuing software restarts. The next time I'll power cycle 
the sucker and see if that does any good.

GPS signal isn't the issue; the 2100 shares an external GPS antenna with my 
Thunderbolts through a Symmetricom 58536A GPS splitter, and the Thunderbolts 
are as happy as a Thunderbolt can be.

cheers
