    cmosGet()

         Gets a CMOS position

    Syntax:

         cmosGet( nAddress ) -> nValue

         nAddress : The relative address into the CMOS. The address
                    table is given below.

    Description:

         Returns the value of a memory cell of the CMOS. It could be useful
         to determine various aspects about the system's setup. Remember that
         the input and output parameters must be specified in decimal code,
         even when the next table is given in hexadecimal base.
