perfect! just what I had been looking for, and it even works fine with 
phoenix award bios! I just set the settings that I want to change, dump 
it, and then write it to clients (with exact same hardware) and the 
settings are applied. amazing!

now i just need to learn what actually happens in these 35 lines of code 
:-) what library does
outb(regno, 0x70); come from? and 0x70 represents the memory where cmos 
starts at?
