Utilities to save, restore and check CMOS settings for DOS, Win3.1, Win95 and Win98. Does not restore under NT, but can save and check.

Power surges can corrupt CMOS tables. This applicatiyon responds to the need for a simple and easy to use method 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.

You may want to alter some obscure CMOS setting and you don't have a program to set it.

CMOSRest can also be used to toggle between two CMOS configurations, for example with and without a removable hard drive installed. If you had removable hard disks, you could rapidly switch between the various disks.

CMOSChk can detect subtle corruption to CMOS, as might be caused by a rogue program or a virus, something that might slow your machine or make it unreliable.

CMOSSave can create a backup of your CMOS on floppy. This way you may safely experiment with CMOS settings. You can always get back to where you started by using CMOSRest to restore the original settings. Any time you fiddle with the computer innards, you might accidentally disconnect the battery, losing CMOS. CMOSSAVE lets you put it back the way it was.

If you build machines for a living, you can rapidly clone the CMOS settings of one template machine in a dozen others.
