I got the impression it *is* a standard. Ralf Brown's Interrupt List
gives no other use for that part of the CMOS, and I've not yet
encountered machines that don't use it that way. Are we sure there are 
somet that don't? This was a fairly important little Y2K fix for some
people and I'd hate to think it wasn't actually doing the right thing.
