No. First, research on the web shows a similar problem cropped up on a xenix system in Europe, where the offset was two hours, not eight. It was fixed by downloading some set of files. Further, I have two Win10 machines. Testing file stamping between the two machines with the same drive shows no disagreement on the time stamp.
To Review - The Key symptoms:
1. Time stamp interpretation and coding on the PB is 8 hours off the Windows machines (my time zone is +8).
2. Writing to the thumb drive on the PB causes the Windows machines to complain about a non-fatal directory error.
3. The problem doesn't manifest in two different Win10 machines. If there were a bios problem with one, the other would see it.
4. The same problem showed up on a Xenix machine in Europe in 2016, where it had a -2 hour time shift. Cured with a download.
I'm going back to the web page that mentioned the 2 hr problem and see if I can understand the details, but at the present I'm convinced something odd is going on with the PB. In the mean time, anyone tried this themselves? I'd like to see if it is easily reproduced, or is (more likely, I think) a setting problem with my PB. It took me a while to spot this, so I'm wondering if it isn't a matter of not looking for the behavior.
