| 114667 | 2003-01-18 00:50:00 | There are a lot around for AT CMOS BIOS settings . (Try "cmoser" to google) . Even I have written one . :D Unfortunately, the new BIOSs use a lot more than the 64 bytes available for the AT, so they might not be compatible . It's not a "hard" programme to write, so I am sure that someone has written a modern one . Unfortunately, the various BIOS makers have probably "improved" the layout of the extra settings . ;-) So there's probably a need for several, if you want the result to be hunman-readable . It's trivial to save and restore the settings (just write the NV address to I/O port 70, and read or write the byte from/to I/O port 71 . 64 times for the traditional AT hardware; probably 256 for the modern ones . ) |

| 114669 | 2003-01-18 18:28:00 | Thank you for those. They definitely save the settings, but I really would like a utility that would allow you to view ALL your settings just as you would when you are in the BIOS. For example, see all the enabled/disabled entries, etc. That way I could e-mail the file to someone else to see what I've stuffed up! Cheers! |
