I haven't install clock crystal on the NP41S (I will called this design NP41S to differentiate it w/ the 14 segment 128K FRAM unit) but plan to make that available and try the CX ROM.

The CX adds a RTC, but also a bunch of general-purpose advanced programming commands, plus access to Expanded Memory (a simple offline file system, where you can store programs, create/store text files, save blocks of registers, etc. - but the extra storage space could be an issue). The CX RTC also includes setting multiple alarms which can simply beep or launch programs, auto-repeat on regular cycles, etc.

No idea if any of these features meet your goals, but thought I'd give you a thumbnail view of what the CX adds.
