12. Is there a way to check the
computer's RTC/BIOS prior to year 2000, without contacting the PC
manufacturer?
Microsoft recommends that you
contact the PC manufacturer to obtain information about the year
2000 readiness of your PC's clock and BIOS.
Detailed information about BIOS testing has been prepared
for IT professionals, however, in the white paper Microsoft Operating System
Interactions with BIOS and Real Time Clock. (Note:
For BIOS testing, we recommend the use of an MS-DOS boot
disk to check the system for clock issues. This will separate the
day-to-day functionality of the system from the date testing. After
testing, make sure to reboot the machine to the boot disk and set
the clock back to the right time.)
