Comment Re:A call for Write Protect (Score 1) 95
For those old enough to remember them, changing a BIOS required an EPROM burner and UV eraser. Changing CMOS settings required setting the write protect jumper.
Well, I had an IBM PC-1, and yes and no respectively.
Clearing CMOS settings is still done with a jumper. I do wish that all flash BIOS devices had a write protect jumper, though, and it would cost little to add them.
