The clock on my SS5/110, running 1.5S, drifts constantly, but only when the
machine is busy (that is, only when I'm at work using it). I've included
several days worth of NTP logs below, showing drifts of several seconds an
hour, but not at night and not over the weekend. Is this normal? Does my clock
just suck? Is it a Sun hardware thing?
