The BIOS in many personal computers stores the date and time in BCD because the MC6818 real-time clock chip used in the original IBM PC AT motherboard provided the time encoded in BCD. This form is easily converted into ASCII for display.[4]
The Atari 8-bit family of computers used BCD to implement floating-point algorithms. The MOS 6502 processor used has a BCD mode that affects the addition and subtraction instructions.
Early models of the PlayStation 3 store the date and time in BCD. This led to a worldwide outage of the console on 1st march 2010. The last two digits of the year stored as BCD were misinterpreted as 16 causing a paradox in the unit's date, rendering most functionalities inoperable

What is the difference between weighted and non weighted codes?
what is weighted codes: The decimal value of a code is obtained summing up the positional values. weghted binary code s are those which obey positional weighting principle. each position of number represents a specific weight. There are millions of weighted code The most common one is 8421 Non weighted codes: This codes are not positionaly weghted. each position with in the binary no is not assgned to afixed value.Examples of nonweghted code is ASCCI, GREY CODE, EBCDIC CODE etc
