What do you guys think of this weird thing I found in my latest score of computers?

Says “Millenium Bios Board”

Bios Extension
For
Real Time Clock Correction

A useful tool? A dumb invention from days gone by?

I rescue old PCs and keep them from being recycled... and preserve Dos/Win 3.11 Software on https://www.ThisOldTech.ca.

I wonder what's in that ROM.

Nowadays you could recycle it to install an XTIDE ROM in a computer 😀

Some ads claimed they helped slow latency by using software fixes... Lord knows the machines we play with have so many darn slots... what else do we fill them with? 😁
