Yes I had thought of that. This would explain the MB forgetting the
time and HDD setting while the mains power was off. But I can't see how
it would explain the clock running slow and the computer not being able
to "see" the slave HDD when the power was on!
I am beginning to think that I have just got a bad board, and I will
have to see about getting a replacement for it.

Yes I think you are right. I will have to follow this up there and stop
boring this list with my computer problems!
