Hi Barry,
Good thing it was not a snake. I looked all over my copy of the data sheet
earlier and didn't see the value. I just looked again and found it clearly
marked at the bottom.
I googled the freq plus crystal and found a number of sources selling them for
under 15 cents. I just don't know if TenTec did anything different during the
design cycle. My guess is probably not since that crystal is specific to the
DS1285.
Thanks,
Glenn

Just guessing but DS1285 data sheets says it's a 32.768Khz clock
crystal. You might be able to steal one from an old AT computer
motherboard.

the real time clock package in the Omni 6 series. The capacitor noted as Y2 in
the Ten Tec manual has KDS2C stamped on it.
