No, that's VIA as in Versatile Interface Adapter, not as in VIA

It used to be a separate chip in the old 68000 days, but now it's
integrated in
some Mac fabric (e.g. Mac I/O).

Actually, there is no RTC chip _at all_ in NewWorld Macs.  The PMU
itself keeps the time (from a 32768Hz clock).

So from a technical point of view, the PMU is the RTC chip, right?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
