(My board is rather elongated, so area isn't a problem but Eagle Light's maximum dimensions are.) If you still have the Perl script you mentioned for the netlist conversion, I would be extremely grateful if I could get a copy. In any case, I hope you're making progress debugging your problem with the DS1302 clock chip. I know I spent far too much time on an earlier project debugging some crazy issues with a Xicor X1226 clock. (Similar chip, with an I2C interface and far too many quirky interface issues.) All I can say is follow everything in the datasheet to the letter, make sure your datasheet is up to date, and don't forget that everything is in BCD. Good luck.
