OEM's and CMOS Settings?

jolly good asks: "Back in the good old days all CMOS were accessed exactly the same way because there was an agreed upon standard in place. These days, however, motherboard feature sets have expanded to the point where the old 128 byte CMOS standard is no longer adequate. This has lead to different proprietary methods to access the upper 128 bytes in CMOS as there isn't a standard for a 256 byte CMOS. What I'd like to know is how are OEM's handling duplicating CMOS settings across large numbers of machines on production lines?"
