[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] List of ROM Release Dates

mahoney@primerd.prime.com (12/11/90)

Unless somebody has already done this, I would like to compile a list of the 
release dates of PC ROM BIOS's used in  various PC's. If you have a PC 
(particularly PC clones) and could send me the release date and the name of 
the manufacturer of the BIOS (the name of the manufacturer is displayed at 
boot time) I will compile the list. If and when I get a comprehensive list I 
will post it to the net.

To get the release date of the BIOS do the following:

From the DOS prompt type debug. At the '-' prompt type:

	d f000:fff5

You will see 11 bytes of data displayed (the release date of the BIOS and 
model). Please send me a copy of these 11 bytes, the name of the manufacturer 
of the BIOS (as displayed at boot time), and the type of PC (manufacturer and
model) to me via e-mail.

Alternatively, if somebody knows where such a list already exists, and would
be good enough to steer me in that direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
