Clocks for PSX

Does anyone know of any clocks that currently work with PSX?
Ideally this would be a clock that synchronizes with the PSX time and is USB plug and play.

Hi Greg,

Yes the Opencockpits Boeing 737 CHRONO

Its USB and you can get it in Boeing Brown color too (I have it).

My psxseecon program will interface it with PSX. In the psxseecon software package you will find a SIOC script for it.  It provides UTC Time, Elapsed Time, Chrono time and the Seconds arm. Displays will be dark if there is no power. You can also use the amount of voltage to dim the displays.
Works like a charm.

You only have to install SIOC, psxseecon, write a sioc.ini and you are up and running.

Regards,
Nico

Hi Nico,
Looking good, just checked out the web site.
But.. They are 110mm wide. Just checked the 747 drawings showing the clocks (and other instruments at 83mm.
Maybe I don't need the outer bezel or can cut it slightly smaller.

Hi Greg,

110 mm is the diagonal value, the outer width is 89 mm.

Perfect then.
Thanks so much Nico for pointing me in the right direction. :)

if you get the real ones they are hardware driven not PSX driven  plus real ones are cheaper just my two cents worth
