>>>This clock keeps ticking away and when it hit's 2000, some boards crash the internal software known as the BIOS, even though the date was never referenced. Jack, could you explain for me: 1) how the BIOS access the date without you requesting it? Give me the names of BIOS interrupts that use date without you invoking it? 2) how would a BIOS crash your system if you don't need the date? 3) Is there any BIOS that will go to sleep after year 2000? :)))
