CMOS Ram

By Robert Sprowson

Originally published in EUG #49

This file describes the program CMOSRAM which makes a backup of the fifty CMOS RAM configurations bytes held in the real time clock on a Master 128. It can however be altered to work on machines that have more than 50 bytes of backup (eg. Archimedes) as long as the operating system supports OSByte 161/162.

The manual and software are (C)1996 SPROW.

Instructions

At the BASIC prompt, type CHAIN"U.CMOSRAM" <RETURN>.
