TEST2000

SchoolHouse Computers Limited developed the DATE2000 range of millennium-compliancy tools in 1996 with the express intention of assisting individuals and organisations to combat the potential millennium time bomb. We believe that these products are amongst the very few that will fix BOTH the BIOS and CMOS RTC (Real Time Clock) for most PCs, making the hardware Y2K compliant.

The products have received independent, national computer media acclaim and have been installed successfully worldwide. We believe that this is the best available in the range of products for this particular problem; they are already in wide use internationally. We encourage active dialogue with all our customers to ensure these products have an on-going cycle of continuous developmentùwhen free upgrades are released they are available to all existing customers by request.

Developed by a team of IT professionals with many years of experience in the industry, the product is simple to use and install.

We offer distribution worldwide with outlets in the USA (East and West), Canada, Middle East, Australia, Ireland and across the UK. We can put you in direct contact with the nearest supplier.

TEST2000

TEST2000 is offered as a free download from the SchoolHouse Web site; however, a small charge is made to cover administration costs for hard copies. It is included as standard within both DATE2000 Fix and DATE2000PRO.

TEST2000 works on most PC BIOS, networks and servers, irrespective of the operating system used (i.e., DOS 2.11, Windows 3.11, 95 or NT).

Simple in concept and use, the test disk is loaded as a bootable floppy; this then automatically runs through several tests checking both the BIOS and CMOS performance by forcing the machine to pass into the year 2000. TEST2000 informs you of each stage and finishes with a final recommendation. If the machine passes the tests then no further action is required with respect to the hardwareÆs own date; however, if it fails then a recommendation is made to install the fix. The tests performed include:

  • BIOS Acceptance of Year 2000
  • Real Time Clock Date Rollover
  • BIOS Date Rollover
  • BIOS Fix of Invalid CMOS Date on Boot
  • BIOS Leap Year in Year 2000
  • Force BIOS to 29/2/2000
  • Real Time Clock Leap Year in Year 2000
