RT/CMOS Address and NMI Mask Register (Hex 0070)

The NMI mask register is used with the RT/CMOS data register (hex
0071) to read from and write to the RT/CMOS RAM bytes.

Attention

The operation following a write to hex 0070 should access hex
0071; otherwise, intermittent failures of the RT/CMOS RAM can
occur.

Bit 7

When this write-only bit is set to 1, the NMI is masked
(disabled). This bit is set to 1 by a power-on reset.

Bits 6–0

These bits are used to select RT/CMOS RAM
addresses.

RT/CMOS Data Register (Hex 0071)

The RT/CMOS data register is used with the RT/CMOS address and
