I'd be happy to try a patched version! Would bypassing the RTC check affect functionality much?
No, it will still use the RTC. Not really sure why the check is failing on your Compaq (could your copy of SoftMPU be corrupt?) but here's a patched version anyway.
Yeah, quite odd. I have a Compaq Armada 1573DM laptop I was experimenting with and actually needed this patched version when messing with DOS 6.22, but didn't need it when using Windows 98 SE's DOS files.
I was making a custom startup disk from DOS 6.22's files until I ran into that issue, so I also made one from the DOS files of Win98SE as a result. Will have to investigate whether this behavior changed in Win95's DOS files or not, but I have other things to do for now.
EDIT 2017/10/30: SoftMPU's RTC check bypass is no longer needed starting with Windows 95A's DOS files on Compaq laptops! Interesting.
Site update: cwcyrix.duckdns.org -> cwcyrix.nsupdate.info due to the former no longer working.
