Bit puzzled by this. !CMOStool is an R-Comp program, and should be at
the URL given in our instructions with the widget. I haven't heard
anyone say it isn't there.
However, if you got your widget from ROOL, then obviously you wouldn't
have our software. I am happy to email any BBSS member a copy if
they'd like it. Since we're cheaper than ROOL, I can't imagine why a
BBSS member wouldn't get a widget through the scheme, but I appreciate
that sometimes people don't know where to go for things. Anyway, if
any BBSS members would like a copy, please get in touch.
The boot scripts will still reference the cmos file on the card, so it
is probably sensible to leave it there (especially if you ever need to
transfer to another board), but equally it could probably be deleted
if saving 2kb is important.
