John,

<I just saw a full page ad in an embedded trade magazine by Dallas Semiconductor for Y2K compliant RTCs (Real Time Clocks)>

Here's probably the reason Dallas Semiconductor's finally advertising their Y2K compliant RTC:
600 NEW Nuclear Regulatory Commission PC's Fail Y2K

Dallas Semiconductor readily admits that the real-time clocks used in the NRC PCs are NOT compliant. The company has been manufacturing chips with and without a ''century counter'' that provides Year 2000 compliance, said Jim Lott, senior product manager for Dallas Semiconductor's timekeeping group - The noncompliant clock, which cost 60 cents less per chip .... makes a big difference to volume manufacturers when they buy components.

John,

My understanding after speaking with Scott was that Topro would eventually be changed to TAVA but that shareholder approval was necessary. Hopefully, this will be addressed at upcoming meeting in January. Think we all prefer just one name.
