This program is written in Turbo C, and is intended to illustrate how to exercise the bc620 from
a PC or compatible. Both the source code and an executable file have been provided. The
modules base address is controlled by the value of the constant “base.” Section 3.2.5 of the

2.4 MSDOS DEVICE DRIVER
bc620/627AT DOS Clock Device Driver v2.0
========================================
A device driver is supplied with the bc620/627AT. This driver is intended to replace the PC real
time clock in all aspects; time and date stamping of files, high level language calls, time and date
requests from the DOS prompt, and any other applications which use the DOS clock (INT21
funcs 2A, 2B, 2C or 2D).
The driver is installed by adding a line to the config.sys file containing a device load statement.
The following statement shows the syntax for the bc620 driver.
device=<path>bc620.sys {- / \}{AMOY}<switch data>
Note
: If the path is not included, the system will search for the device driver in the root
directory of the boot disk.
Also, there are three allowed switch delimiters: dash(-), slash(/) and the backslash(\).
The switch ids are defined as follows:
Axxx
Address
Three digits of hex base address
Allowed values: 100-3F0
Default: 300
