Why should the selected emulated CPU/model be relevant for
the CMOS content? Hopefully this isn't the case and everything
in CMOS (beyond the clock, which is irrelevant in V-RPC
because it uses the host system's clock anyway) is just
the same.

It would be different if there were different OS versions
switchable, but as V-RPC is sadly hardwired to the one and
only version it is delivered with...

It would be a lot more useful to have a version of V-RPC to just
behave like a standard RPC - if invalid CMOS config (i.e. broken
or none), startup with red bordered screen and start running
with defaults.

Have fun
