I believe your old motherboards similarly to mine properly keep track of all the "time parameters" but year alone. So it would be very easy to work the problem around by adding in AUTOEXEC.BAT the line like "date -y 2020" (if "date" utility had -y option - but it doesn't have it, so there's a need for parsing its output and creating proper date string which will be passed as parameter; or maybe for writing something directly to registers. Anyway I'll try to mess with that BIOS first -- regards, Zbigniew _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
