yes, got that. much better than the floppy thing, but i'm more curious
what the new bioses give you?
i thought bioses came from the motherboard maker, but you seemed to
mention two of them - or were you referring to the tools that flash the
bios?
i do recall some "open bios" projects and i was curious about them.
they seemed to provide a real bios for pc's - something close to what
was on real computers (sparcs, alphas and others).
