Copyrights/Trademarks belong to whoever they may belong to. Found: Algorithm used by IBM in calculating CRC checksums for PS/2 (see bytes 32h-33h). Complex (recursive part is 12 lines of assembly) and not yet validated for every model. --------!------------------------------------ Background The CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is actually a 64 or 128 byte battery-backed RAM memory module that is a part of the system clock chip. Some IBM PS/2 models have the capability for a 2k (2048 byte) CMOS ROM Extension. First used with clock-calender cards for the IBM PC-XT, when the PC/AT (Advanced Technology) was introduced in 1985, the Motorola MC146818 became a part of the motherboard. Since the clock only uses fourteen of the RAM bytes, the rest are available for storing system configuration data. Interestingly, the original IBM-PC/AT (Advanced Technology) standard for the region 10h-3Fh is nearly universal with one notable exception: The IBM PS/2 systems deviate considerably (Note: AMSTRAD 8086 machines were among the first to actively use the CMOS memory available and since they *predate* the AT, do not follow the AT standard). This is just another example of how IBM created a standard, lost control of it, tried to replace it, failed and lost market share in the process. Originally, the IBM PC/AT only made use of a small portion of CMOS memory and was defined in the IBM PC/AT Technical Reference Manual, specifically bytes 10h, 12h, 14h-18h, 2Eh-33h. The balance was left undefined but was quickly appropriated by various BIOS manufacturers for such user-selectable options such as wait states, clock speeds, initial boot drive selection, and password storage. Later, as CMOS memory requirements grew, newer clock chips with 128 bytes of RAM came into use. However the fact remains that once the AT standard was established, only IBM has tried to change the definitions of that first description. Accessing the CMOS The CMOS memory exists outside of the normal address space and cannot contain directly executable code. It is reachable through IN and OUT commands at port number 70h (112d) and 71h (113d). To read a CMOS byte, an OUT to port 70h is executed with the address of the byte to be read and an IN from port 71h will then retrieve the requested information. The following BASIC fragment will read 128 CMOS bytes and print them to the screen in 8 rows of 16 values. CMOS RAM space has an upper limit of 128 bytes because of the structure of port 70: only bits 0-6 are used for addressing, bit 7 is used to enable (0) or disable (1) Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI) and explains why IBM uses 80h OR to read/write data & follows with a "throw-away" call. Note that if the CMOS only has 64 bytes available, addressing will generally wrap and addresses from 40h-7Fh will mirror 00h-3Fh. Output will be hexadecimal. 10 CLS 20 FOR i = 0 TO &H7F 30 OUT &H70, i 40 PRINT USING "\ \"; HEX$(INP(&H71)); 50 NEXT i 60 PRINT " " Note: where not otherwise noted, all data points are expressed as BYTES these are eight bit values and are read from MSB to LSB e.g. 0000 0000 0101 1010 binary would be written as 5Ah 7654 3210 where only some bits are used this is represented with Xs e.g bits 5-3 would be shown as 00xx x000 Note: the entries for AMI WinBIOS also apply to AMIBIOS with core dates of 12/15/95 or later --------!------------------------------------ Organization of CMOS Memory - Clock 00h-0Eh is defined by the clock hardware and all must follow it. Other manufacturers generally follow the same format as specified for the region 10h - 2Fh. Some also follow the IBM format for 30h-33h but not all (Zenith in particular is different). The first fourteen bytes are dedicated to the MC146818 chip clock functions and consist of ten read/write data registers and four status registers, two of which are read/write and two of which are read only. The format of the ten clock data registers (bytes 00h-09h) is: ----------R00-------------------------------- CMOS 00h - RTC - SECONDS Desc: (BCD 00-59, Hex 00-3B) Note: Bit 7 is read only SeeAlso: CMOS 01h,CMOS 02h,CMOS 04h ----------R01-------------------------------- CMOS 01h - RTC - SECOND ALARM Desc: (BCD 00-59, Hex 00-3B; "don't care" if C0-FF) SeeAlso: CMOS 00h,CMOS 03h,CMOS 05h ----------R02-------------------------------- CMOS 02h - RTC - MINUTES Desc: (BCD 00-59, Hex 00-3B) SeeAlso: CMOS 00h,CMOS 03h,CMOS 04h ----------R03-------------------------------- CMOS 03h - RTC - MINUTE ALARM Desc: (BCD 00-59, Hex 00-3B; "don't care" if C0-FF)) SeeAlso: CMOS 00h,CMOS 02h,CMOS 05h ----------R04-------------------------------- CMOS 04h - RTC - HOURS Desc: (BCD 00-23, Hex 00-17 if 24 hr mode) (BCD 01-12, Hex 01-0C if 12 hr am) (BCD 81-92.

The word at 2Eh-2Fh is a byte-wise summation of the values in these bytes. Most BIOSes will generate a CMOS Checksum error if this value is invalid however many programs ignore the checksum and report the apparent value. The current version of MSD reports my XT as having 20+ MB of extended memory. Where a definiton appears universal, no identification is made. Where the definition is thought to be specific to a manufacturer/model (AMI, AMSTRAD, IBM AT, IBM PS/2) the identification is enclosed in parens. The AMSTAD definitions appear to relate to 8088/8086 (PC and PC/XT class) mchines only. AT class machines appear to adhere to IBM PC/AT fornat. ----------R10-------------------------------- CMOS 10h - IBM - FLOPPY DRIVE TYPE Note: a PC having a 5 1/4 1.2 Mb A: drive and a 1.44 Mb B: drive will have a value of 24h in byte 10h.
