Disks #1 and #2 both have a different selection of memory managers (i.e. they are not redundant, nothing on disk #1 is also on #2). And there is a default menu in FDCONFIG.SYS for both in case you prefer (or need) to use a different setup than my default, plus you have 60 secs. to choose!

Anyways, the real reason for replying is because you may wish to backup your CMOS in case it is being reset (for whatever reason). I've already put this util on my upcoming disk #2 which isn't online yet.
