I have the original disk and manual, but don't know what condition the 
disk is in (16 years old).  According to the manual you can set the 
clock from the keyboard.  I tried it and it works.

0. Set SW-1 ON and all other switches OFF.
1. Get into ProDOS BASIC.
2. Type PR#4 and press Return (I'm assuming your clock is in slot 4).
3. Type a date/time string in the following format, then press Return 
(characters won't appear on screen):

!10 2 24 16 04 51 00

4. Press Control-Reset to return to the BASIC prompt.
5. Set SW-1 to OFF.

In the date/time string, '!' is required; digits are as follows: MM W DD 
HH MM SS YY.

For W (day of week), 0=Sun, 1=Mon, ... 6=Sat.  The exact placement of 
digits is critical; leading zeros must be entered or replaced with a 
spae, and the hours digits must represent the time in 24-hour format.

The seconds digits are required but ignored; the seconds are reset to 00 
when you press Return.

ProDOS uses the day of week to determine the year and ignores the year 
set on the clock card.  If ProDOS thinks the year is something other 
than 00 after setting the clock, you need to patch ProDOS's year table.  
I have a copy of that program if you need it.

You can only set the time once while SW-1 is on.  If you mess up, switch 
SW-1 off and then on before setting the time again.
