CMOS(Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) A type of integrated circuit design known for its low power consumption. 3Ch - AWARD - BootTo start up the computer or operating system. The term "boot" is a contraction of "bootstrap", which in turn comes from the expression "to lift oneself by one's boot straps."  The ROM BIOS on IBMInternational Busiuness Machines PCs and compatibles reads in the first sector of the disk, which contains a short (less than 500 bytes) program that reads in a portion of the operating system, which in turn reads in the remainder of the operating system.  See also IPL. Configuration Bits


Bitfields for AWARD boot configuration bits:

 7	disable virusA program which attaches itself to other programs for the purpose of duplicating itself.	Viruses often (but not always) contain harmful code which is triggered by some event, after a certain number of reproductions, or on a specific date.  See also worm. warning on boot

CMOS(Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) A type of integrated circuit design known for its low power consumption. 3Ch - Quadtel HT12 BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware.  The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly. 03.05.03 - TOTAL MEMORY (low byte)
