Does anyone have any particular experience, info or criticisms of any
of the boards (ISA/PCI) available to interrupt date calls to the BIOS
and prevent Y2K probs?

I'm looking at one from American Megatrends
http://www.ami.com/y2k/y2k_spec.html
I've seen others advertised.

Basically do these things work? Are they OS independent?
The AMI website only mentions MS OS's.

Do they 'window', ie are they a temporary solution? Would you prefer
them to a memory resident program which could be corrupted or
uninstalled? Such a program could hardly be OS independent I
presume????

Will they 'fix' old motherboards? 386, 486?

Lots of question, sorry.
