That old BIOS is probably 100% useless on semi-modern hardware anyways. Besides, we're not reimplimenting the BIOS, so it's moot. (You should probably avoid it if you want to work on SeaBIOS or CoreBoot or whatever, as they presumably prefer "clean room" reverse engineering, similar to how others cloned the IBM BIOS back in the day.) _Undocumented DOS_ is probably fine, but I'm not a lawyer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
