IBM 600 manual Bytes Their Addresses

RT/CMOS RAM

The RT/CMOS RAM (real-time clock/complementary metal-oxide

semiconductor

RAM) module contains the real-time clock

and 128

bytes of CMOS RAM. The clock

circuitry uses 14 bytes of this

memory; the

remainder is allocated to configuration and

system-status

information. A battery is built

into

the module

to keep

the

RT/CMOS

RAM active

when

the

power supply

is not

turned

on.

In

addition

to the 128 bytes of CMOS/RAM, a CMOS/RAM extension

of

4

KB

is

provided

for

configuration

and

other

system information.
