I would like to know how to access the contents of the CMOS RAM where the
PC configuration (like disk drive type, amount of memory, etc.) is
stored.

Can anybody tell me at which memory address the CMOS starts, or
what other mechanism I could use to access these information by
an assembler or C program.

Thanks for any information,


Johannes
