I have two friends with AT style clones containing the Phoenix BIOS.  I think
they need to have their CMOS configuration information updated to reflect
their current disk arrangement.  Unfortunately, the instructions they
got with their machines don't really address this issue.  On my own machine
with an AMI BIOS, I can get to a configuration screen during bootup by
typing CTRL-ESC, but this doesn't work on my friends machines.  I looked
in several books on PC hardware but couldn't find any references on how
to set the correct values, although I did find ways to save and restore
the existing CMOS values with some small assembly language programs.  Can
anybody give me some clues?  Please send me mail and I will summarize
any successful answers in a later posting.
