Hi John,

  the binary code is essential because, there is no input and output
to hardware port in euphoria. I wish there will be in next version.
for the moment one have to code it in binary (see ports.e, I posted a
few days ago. it give access to all hardware ports.)

about CMOS RAM:
CMOS RAM is a small memory (128 bytes) wich keep all bios setup
information. In fact it is in the real time clock chip and kept alive by
a rechargable ni-cad batterie.

There is much more information in that cmos than cmosdemo show.
From there you can get the spec of each installed hardisk (cylender,
head,sector)
You can read time and date too.

the information I got is from the following source.

              CMOS Memory Map v1.21 January, 1994
