Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure. A special feature brought to you by Microsoft Frequently Asked Questions

11. How can I know if my computer's BIOS is ready for the year 2000?

Contact the computer or BIOS manufacturer to learn about your PC's hardware (RTC/BIOS) readiness for the year 2000. You will need to know the exact model number of your PC when contacting the manufacturer. Web site addresses of several major PC manufacturers are listed in the "Taking Action" section of the Microsoft Consumer Web site.

Do not make assumptions about the BIOS of your computer. It is possible that different brands or versions of the BIOS were supplied during production of the same model of a PC. Make sure that the BIOS of each specific computer you have is ready for the year 2000.
