Pages For Review

As far as I can see, this page needs to be categorized and checked before removal from PFR. My suggestion is Category:OS theory, agreed? - Combuster 05:37, 28 August 2007 (CDT)

It does seem to fit in nicely with that group, so yup, agreed. --Alboin

Original Discussion

ToDo: This is a first draft and should probably be checked. It might be a good idea to move all of the RTC details into a seperate "RTC Hardware" page and add more info ... -- Brendan

There is also the CMOS page - maybe details about accessing it should be moved there? It's a bit lacking, too (the CMOS page, I mean). You just raised some interesting issues, like the danger of reading CMOS during updates.. --ZomgTest

The RTC info is completely x86 specific, and needs to be separated and moved somewhere into the x86 hardware category.
Also, other time/date formats with a more scientific basis (such as Julian Day Numbers) need to be mentioned. Bewing 23:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
