Setting time - photo570 - 03-28-2021
Totally embarrassing newb question. Irix 6.5.30. How do you set the system time? Just fired up my O2 after a billion years in storage and the clock is displaying the wrong time.
It has been a while and I have forgotten most of what I knew. Looking forward to getting back into it.
Also if anyone knows how, how the hell do you get the "base" off an O2. I have one tricked out one, with a busted base, and a couple of dead ones, which have good skins and bases, so wanted to sort that. Getting the black lid and blue skin off is easy, the base may require witchcraft
. Any tips appreciated.Kind regards,
Jason Berge.

Welcome to the forums!
There's multiple ways to set the date and time:
Similar to most other UNIX systems.
The base can be slid off - if you have no screws on the bottom, I believe it's a sideways slide after you take off the top pieces.

Thanks,
Will give that a wirl later.
If only it was that easy. The little bugger won't budge. I have the lids and the blue skins off, but there seem to be some sort of tabs locking the base into the steel chassis. Need to know how to disengage them, without snapping them. That will be interesting, as the plastics seem to snap if you look at them funny. Hence having three bodies, and only one set of complete skins across them.

Reply at the bottom, not the top of the post. You and many other newcomers often end up trying to do that and it's proper forum etiquette to reply at the bottom, plus the editors aren't designed for that.
Anyways, I think there are possibly in functional example small tabs, but I've never had a perfect O2 so...

I've take the skins off 2 o2s now the bases are a pain. on one side there are little hooks the base needs to be slid so that the hooks come out of the metal case after that it comes right off. You should break any plastic doing this. If you take the speaker out you will break the plastic tabs 100% of the time, I cant even lift the tabs high enough so that they clear the plastic base lol.

In response, I've compiled a wiki article on this:
