Hello JWP,

In my opinion machines with that BIOS are too old. So no.
Also because I wondered a few times about this phrase:

Nowhere in the source of hwclock can I find this warning. But it
has been there in 2000, because this user reports having gotten it:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.lang.basic/ilp_6HwLvZE/sE1nBoiD_LcJ
Since no one ever complained that the above phrase in the man page
is incorrect, it most likely means that no one uses such machines
any more.
