Found: Algorithm used by IBM in calculating CRC checksums for PS/2
(see bytes 32h-33h). Complex (recursive part is 12 lines of
assembly) and not yet validated for every model.
--------!---Note-----------------------------
Background
The CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is actually
a 64 or 128 byte battery-backed RAM memory module that is a part of the
system clock chip. Some IBM PS/2 models have the capability for a
2k (2048 byte) CMOS ROM Extension.
First used with clock-calender cards for the IBM PC-XT, when the PC/AT
(Advanced Technology) was introduced in 1985, the Motorola MC146818
became a part of the motherboard. Since the clock only uses fourteen of
the RAM bytes, the rest are available for storing system configuration data.
Interestingly, the original IBM-PC/AT (Advanced Technology) standard for
the region 10h-3Fh is nearly universal with one notable exception: The
IBM PS/2 systems deviate considerably (Note: AMSTRAD 8086 machines were
among the first to actively use the CMOS memory available and since they
*predate* the AT, do not follow the AT standard).
This is just another example of how IBM created a standard, lost control
of it, tried to replace it, failed and lost market share in the process.
Originally, the IBM PC/AT only made use of a small portion of CMOS memory
and was defined in the IBM PC/AT Technical Reference Manual, specifically
bytes 10h, 12h, 14h-18h, 2Eh-33h. The balance was left undefined but was
quickly appropriated by various BIOS manufacturers for such user-selectable
options such as wait states, clock speeds, initial boot drive selection, and
password storage.
Later, as CMOS memory requirements grew, newer clock chips with 128
bytes of RAM came into use. However the fact remains that once the AT
standard was established, only IBM has tried to change the definitions
of that first description.
Accessing the CMOS
The CMOS memory exists outside of the normal address space and cannot
contain directly executable code. It is reachable through IN and OUT
commands at port number 70h (112d) and 71h (113d). To read a CMOS byte,
an OUT to port 70h is executed with the address of the byte to be read and
an IN from port 71h will then retrieve the requested information. The
following BASIC fragment will read 128 CMOS bytes and print them to the
screen in 8 rows of 16 values.
The CMOS RAM space has an upper limit of 128 bytes because of the structure
of port 70: only bits 0-6 are used for addressing, bit 7 is used to
enable (0) or disable (1) Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI) and explains why
IBM uses 80h OR <address> to read/write data & follows with a "throw-away"
call.
Note that if the CMOS only has 64 bytes available, addressing will
generally wrap and addresses from 40h-7Fh will mirror 00h-3Fh. Output will
be hexadecimal.
10 CLS
20 FOR i = 0 TO &H7F
30 OUT &H70, i
40 PRINT USING "\ \"; HEX$(INP(&H71));
50 NEXT i
60 PRINT " "
Note: where not otherwise noted, all data points are expressed as BYTES
these are eight bit values and are read from MSB to LSB e.g.
0000 0000 0101 1010 binary would be written as 5Ah
7654 3210 where only some bits are used this is represented with
Xs e.g bits 5-3 would be shown as 00xx x000
Note: the entries for AMI WinBIOS also apply to AMIBIOS with core dates of
12/15/95 or later
--------!---Note-----------------------------
Organization of CMOS Memory - Clock
00h-0Eh is defined by the clock hardware and all must follow it. Other
manufacturers generally follow the same format as specified for the
region 10h - 2Fh. Some also follow the IBM format for 30h-33h but not all
(Zenith in particular is different).
The first fourteen bytes are dedicated to the MC146818 chip clock functions
and consist of ten read/write data registers and four status registers, two
of which are read/write and two of which are read only.
The format of the ten clock data registers (bytes 00h-09h) is:

CMOS 0Fh - IBM - RESET CODE (IBM PS/2 "Shutdown Status Byte")
(Table C0006)

(or: chip set initialization for real mode reentry)

(or: jump via 40h:0067h without EOI)

0Dh-FFh perform power-on reset
--------!---Note-----------------------------
The second group of values extends from address 10h to 2Dh. The word at
2Eh-2Fh is a byte-wise summation of the values in these bytes. Most BIOSes
will generate a CMOS Checksum error if this value is invalid however many
programs ignore the checksum and report the apparent value. The current
version of MSD reports my XT as having 20+ MB of extended memory.
Where a definiton appears universal, no identification is made. Where
the definition is thought to be specific to a manufacturer/model (AMI,
AMSTRAD, IBM AT, IBM PS/2) the identification is enclosed in parens. The
AMSTAD definitions appear to relate to 8088/8086 (PC and PC/XT class)
mchines only. AT class machines appear to adhere to IBM PC/AT fornat.

Note: Stored as a checksum using the following algorithm:
initialize 16-bit checksum to zero
for each ASCII character between 32 (space) and 127 (DEL) in the
password, add character to checksum, then rotate left two bits
store low byte of result in 1Ch and high byte in 1Dh (for user
password, use locations 4Dh and 4Eh instead)

The problem with CMOS checksum layout for the new motherboards (1995-1996)
with AWARD, AMIBIOS (also AMIBIOS on Pentium motherboards produced beyond
1992) and several others is the following: they have added the second checksum
for the CMOS area from 40h to 7Ch. Any changes in the area concerned, always
result in "CMOS checksum failure. Defaults loaded...".
The problem is that every model of BIOS has its own location of the second
checksum and its own way of determining it. When you need to change some bytes
in the area from 40h to 7Ch you ought to determine checksum location. Here's
the Assembly code that finds out the location of the second CMOS checksum on
ANY motherboard. I've tested it on more than 10 different motherboards with
AMIBIOS and AWARD BIOS and it never failed.
Before starting this code make sure to load the 128 bytes of CMOS
data to the buffer at CMOS_DATA and assume DS as data area segment register.
START: CALL WHAT_CMOS
JC NO_SECOND_CHS
; Checksum location is in word at CHECKS_ADDRESS
NO_SECOND_CHS:
; There's no second checksum in this CMOS
