ph4nt0m: Year 2000 RTC Bug Fix ISA Cards

[ph4nt0m]

This 8-bit ISA card fixes incorrect year reported by many old BIOSes after 1999. No drivers required. There is a ROM image executed while booting up. It installs an interrupt handler that intercepts software requests to the RTC, makes a request on its own, corrects the year and forwards the response to the software. In other words, RTC years 1900 to 1980 are corrected to make them look 2000 to 2080.

OEM version with no metal bracket, box or manual. Made in Ukraine in 1999. Very good build quality with gold plating. The manufacturer has said these work in 80286 and newer machines, but I think 8086/8088 should be fine, too.

The chip under the sticker is a 27C512 OTP EPROM, though the actual ROM image size is under 4Kb. If you replace this chip with a socketed erasable one, you can use the card for ROM testing and development without touching your actual BIOS.

$12 each

Worldwide postage $10 for the 1st card + $2 each additional
