2) - SECTION 2 HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM -

Requirements:

	* INTEL 486 or a machine that has a newer BIOS in it that will 
	allow for auto settings on drives, only use on a INTEL 
        Platform.  DO NOT USE ON AN OLDER MODEL 286/386.  The older
	machines do not allow for auto setting of CMOS, for the IDE
	drives.

    1) Basically there is not much to write about this program, if you 
use Windows 95 shutdown the machine to restart in MS-Dos compatibility
mode.  If using Windows 3.1(1) exit to dos.

    2) It may be useful if you can enter you CMOS before boot, and 
write down the information about your system, some systems will not
let you get that far without a password, some you can check the
settings without a password, but need a password to save the settings.

    3) Run the CCEPKA program, and reboot the machine, enter your
CMOS settings immediately by pressing whatever keys are specified to
enter CMOS, typically F2, F1, Shift+F2.  Reset your CMOS settings to
what they where originally, and exit with save to reboot the machine.

    4) **IMPORTANT**  Opon Reboot you may see a Checksum error from 
your machine, this is what this program is intended to do, this is 
normal.
	
    5) Note:  It is very important to correctly configure your CMOS
settings, with autodetection in most machines this is not a problem, 
but if you use a 486 or above and still there is no autodetect of the
IDE devices (CD, Hard Disk), please contact the manufacturer of the
drive, check the specifications on your drive, so that you may enter
them as they should be.  This includes checking all of your CMOS
settings, including serial ports, memory, etc.

	Not all BIOSes have been tested with this program, but the
code should be generic enough to work with all current BIOSes.


3) - SECTION 3 Tested Bioses - 

  * Phoenix BIOS 4, Release 6 

  * Award BIOS V4.51, Revision 1.11
