CMOSsave/CMOSrest 3.8

Utilities to save, restore and check CMOS settings Utilities to save, restore and check CMOS settings for DOS, Win3.1, Win95 and Win98. Does not restore under NT, but can save and check.
PURPOSE
*******
1. Naive users sometimes fiddle with CMOS settings. We need a fast
way to put the scores of subtle CMOS configuration settings back the
way they were.
2. Power surges can corrupt CMOS. We need a way for a naive user to
quickly restore all the CMOS settings.
3. If the battery fails, the contents will be lost. We need a way to
restore a known working CMOS configuration.
4. You may want to alter some obscure CMOS setting and you dont have
a program to set it.
5. CMOSRest can also be used to toggle between two CMOS configurations,
for example with and without a removable hard drive installed. If you had
removable hard disks, you could rapidly switch between the various disks.
6. CMOSChk can detect subtle corruption to CMOS, as might be caused by a
rogue program or a virus, something that might slow your machine or make
it unreliable.
7. CMOSSave can create a backup of your CMOS on floppy. This way you may
safely experiment with CMOS settings. You can always get back to where
you started by using CMOSRest to restore the original settings. Any time
you fiddle with the computer innards, you might accidentally disconnect
the battery, losing CMOS. CMOSSAVE lets you put it back the way it was.
8. Testing your machine for year Y2K 2000 compliance, to make sure
the BIOS will kick the date over properly in the year 2000. Not so
important anymore.
9. If you build machines for a living, you can rapidly clone the CMOS
settings of one template machine in a dozen others.
