What is a BIOS setup bit?

Basically a program in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) in a computer that can change the value of the CMOS RAM.


Why 8086 was not use IBM PC?

Because IBM wanted to build a computer with an 8-bit data bus. The 8086 and 8088 are the same processor, with the 8086 running on a 16-bit data bus, and the 8088 running on an 8-bit data bus. This allowed IBM to make the most use of older designs that supported 8-bit data buses, such as the 8080, the 8085, and the Z80.

What is BIOS battery?

The function of a bios battery is basically to reset your bios if something goes wrong and you corrupt it. Bios batteries usually contain a little bit of information on them. Therefore, when you remove a bios battery, it goes back to default settings. **Note** removing a bios battery is usually a last resort to reset your bios. There are several other ways to reset your bios such as a jumper cable or (included in some never motherboards,) a reset bios switch.


What was the first microprocessor that IBM put in its PC?

The first IBM PC (the IBM 5150) used the Intel 8088 a version of the Intel 8086 with a multiplexed 8 bit databus instead of the full width 16 bit databus, to reduce package size and cost. IBM had also considered using the Motorola 68008 a version of the Motorola 68000 with a multiplexed 8 bit databus instead of the full width 16 bit databus, to reduce package size and cost; but Motorola could not promise delivery until a year later (due to fabrication problems) and Intel had their chip ready on the shelf.

How do you make Saturn emulator work?

You may need to download a set of BIOS chipset roms. The bios chipsets make the CD-ROM emulation work correctly. A fair bit of warning: these are very hard to find a working non-corrupted bios.

What is the basic Input output system is stored on?

The BIOS is boot firmware, designed to be the first code run by a PC when powered on. The initial function of the BIOS is to identify, test, and initialize system devices such as the Display Card, HDD, FDD and other hardware. The BIOS sets the machine hardware into a known state, so that Software stored on compatible media can be loaded, executed, and given control of the PC. This process is known as booting, or booting up, which is short for Bootstrapping. The role of BIOS has changed over time; today BIOS is a legacy system, superseded by the more complex Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), but BIOS remains in widespread use, and EFI booting has only been supported in x86 Windows since 2008. BIOS is primarily associated with the 16-bit and 32-bit architecture eras (x86-32), while EFI is used for some 32-bit and most 64-bit architectures. Today BIOS is primarily used for booting a system, and for certain additional features such as power management (ACPI), but otherwise is not used during the ordinary running of a system, while in early systems (particularly in the 16-bit era), BIOS was used for hardware access - operating systems (notably MS-DOS) would call the BIOS rather than directly accessing the hardware. In the 32-bit era and later, operating systems instead generally directly accessed the hardware using their own device drivers.
