there is a bit more than just the bios. there is the (CMOS) real time clock!
this battery/accu/conductor driven unit has two main duties: - storing, updating and checking clock and alarm times. - storing BIOS configuration data you can read that unit via assembly mnemonic in/out. documentation is again in RBIL and other sources. its an adress/data paired mail slot access system. there is a small problem that there is a minimal set of common values inside a smaller range (256 addresses?) and an undefined larger range that is vendor specific that might be 256 values or much more with only a BIOS vendor and BIOS version specific interpretation. you might save all those setups as well. regards, Alex. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
