Hello Carlos:
Yes, you can put JAWS for DOS on a 1.44 floppy Disk.
To my knowledge, you cannot use JFD to access the CMOS for a
motherboard in any way nor, can you use JFD to delete/wipe/erase the
CMOS settings for a motherboard.
If you know where the jumper that resets the CMOS to factory
defaults is located on your motherboard, change the jumper setting
and turn on your computer so that the reset of the CMOS can be performed.
After the CMOS has been reset to factory defaults, turn off the
computer and return the jumper to its original location, otherwise,
the CMOS will be reset to factory defaults, each time you turn on
your computer.
Unless you are really certain as to how the jumper on the
motherboard must be set to perform the CMOS reset function, I would
strongly recommend you get someone with vision, who is familiar with
motherboards to help you with this task.
Unless you are familiar with the CMOS of a particular motherboard,
if you are totally blind, you will need sighted assistance to make
the desired changes to the CMOS.
HTH
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Dhavesh,
DOS is "Disk Operating System". It comes from the old days of Apple 2+ or
earlier. On a PC, it used to be the operating system before Windows took
over.
You can emulate a DOS session in Windows by typing CMD in the run command
line. The infamous C:\> prompt used to be something we all saw during our
computer sessions.
In any case, DOS is rarely used these days, except in special circumstances
as originally posted.

Well, for me DOS refers to the operating system that IBM introduced with its System 360 line of mainframe computers in the late 1960's. I worked with IBM DOS for years. Shows you how far back I go.

DOS, (Disk Operating System), was the main operating system most of us used before Windows came along. There were several varients of Disk Operating Systems but, Microsoft's Disk Operating System (DOS) was the most popular.
