Hi! In which sense do you suffer from which bug exactly?

Does int 1a function 4 return the wrong century? Wrong
year? Wrong other date fields and function 5 fails to
let you fix it? A simple TSR could override those calls.

I fail to remember any other BIOS function handle years
and reprogramming the BIOS would be a lot more effort,
although it should be easy to find your int 1a handler
and tune it to return other centuries. It is uploading
the changed BIOS (with ok checksum!) that takes effort.

Cheers, Eric
