Yes, MSFT has the patches for Win95 available but nature finds a way. Hope everyone knows if their bios is good to go for Y2K EDA: tooled for the millennium By Richard Goering BIOS barriers Microsoft Corp.'s year-2000 information is located at www.microsoft.com/cio/articles/year2000faq.htm. It claims there are no problems with DOS or Windows but notes that some PC users may encounter BIOS problems because of "low-level BIOS software provided by other vendors." In most cases, the document states, users can simply reset the clock; but there is a small amount of BIOS software, mostly located in Asia, that doesn't allow such a reset. Tempted to do your own testing by setting your clock to the year 2000? In a warn-ing that applies to any platform, Microsoft notes, "If you have any software that has time limits, this test could trigger the software to expire and be permanently disabled.
