The standard AT CMOS addresses from 00h to 3Fh are easy,
; Read CMOS
mov al,addr ; 'addr' ranges from 00h to 3Fh.
out 70h,al ; wakes up the port.
jmp $+2 ; a delay loop..
in al,71h ; reads CMOS.
; Write CMOS
mov al,addr ; 'addr' ranges from 00h to 3Fh.
out 70h,al ; wakes up the port.
jmp $+2 ; a delay loop..
out 71h, value ; Writes 'value' from 00h to FFh.
; note that 'addr' 10h to 20h are checksummed.
