CMOSSave CMOSRest CMOSChk 1.6 restore damaged CMOS from backup
and check that CMOS has not been tampered with.
Naive users sometimes meddle with CMOS settings. We need a fast
way to put the scores of subtle CMOS configuration settings back
the way they were.
Power surges can corrupt CMOS. We need a way for a naive user
to quickly restore all the CMOS settings.
If the battery fails, the contents will be lost. We need a way
to restore a known working CMOS configuration.
CMOSRest restores ALL of CMOS, including the proprietary
extended COMS settings like wait states, clock speeds, shadow
RAM etc.
Version 1.6 gives more detailed information about how various
bytes in CMOS are used. Coupled with a hex editor, you can use
CMOSRest to modify obscure CMOS settings. More comments added
to sample BAT file CHKCMOS.BAT to aid people to bypass it when
they want to make legitimate changes to CMOS.
