- Program : CMOS Checksum Checker and Fixer 'CMOS_Check, CMOS_Fix'.
-
- Purpose : Checks and corrects CMOS checksum.
-
- Author : Roger Wylde @ Nifty Software.
-
- Instructions
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- CMOS_Check and CMOS_Fix have been written to fix a bug with
- Oak Classnet cards, where they loose their station numbers
- after a Power-on-Delete. This problem only occurs if the
- CMOS checksum had become corrupted, hence the stange way
- that it only seems to effect certain machines.
-
- CMOS_Check will inform you if the machine it is running on
- suffers from a checksum error.
-
- CMOS_Fix will write a correct checksum to the CMOS, there
- should be no harm in running this fix even if there isn't
- a checksum error.
-
- Disclaimer
- ~~~~~~~~~~
-
- I have tested this program on a whole room of A3000s and
- it fixed all of them. They were all running with the
- current DCI-4 chips (in fact there wasn't a problem
- before upgrading to these chips).
-
- Whilst I haven't been able to try this program on anyother
- machines I don't anticipate any problems. You would be
- advised to test it on the odd machine before attacking a
- whole room.
-
- If your cards are equiped with the CMOS Lock module then
- you shouldn't suffer from the problem in the first place.

- ~~~~~~~~~
-
- This program is freeware, you may copy it as much as you like,
- but never charge more than nominal amounts (ie. for time and
- media). If you feel the urge to include it on a PD/Cover CD
- then I'd like a free copy or at least a discount on buying it.
-
- No responsibility can be accepted for the results of the use
- or misuse of this application.
-
- Enjoy,
