2000 Readiness
Achieving Year 2000 readiness in a computing system is a
process that encompasses hardware, software, and data.
The PC
Y2000 Alliance which includes many leading PC manufacturers and
BIOS suppliers, has just made the hardware portion of that process
simpler. With broad cooperation, the Alliance has defined hardware
compliance, and provided help to users via the new web site. This
web portal provides the information, assessment, and remediation
tools needed to achieve Year 2000 hardware readiness.
