Why not use the Battery Backed RTC? (Tick 'Manual')
If it tries and fails to reach a timeserver it should use the BatteryBacked
RTC.
If it fails is the time correct?
I'm pretty certain the problem is not PandaRO specific and appears to be a
RISC OS 5 - NetTime/FreeTime problem.
Other options are:
contact the authors of NetTime and/or FreeTime.
or ROOL via their forums.
You did mention you have carried some things over from your Iyonix and
PandaLand.
In an ideal world I'd suggest using a 'Standard copy of $.!Boot'
but with overlapping partitions ($.!Boot.Loader) in use you have to be very
careful.
