Below is a long and fairly comprehensive page on RTC/BIOS/embedded systems as well as some info on GPS problems. For any techies or codeheads who are lurking, it gives a generic test plan for same. There are also comprehensive links on the subject. I would REALLY like some hardcore info on the actual testing measures the utilities are using on embedded items! Testing these things is VERY difficult and essentially meaningless if done in a superficial way.
