 		 #154643 - some doubts
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Certainly, if a guy wanted to, he could write a program that would completely replace the BIOS,

Many years ago i read Intel's book (maybe first description) for Pentium. There was point about BIOS-writers "...contact Intel for details..." (with NDA,payments and so on...).
Same is for chipsets , which are changed faster than seasons.
So FreeDos or Windows/MSDOS is simpler way.
Spent some time on www.bootdisk.com .
regards
