No, not AFAIK. DOS never did, for trad SCSI. If it didn't have BIOS
support, DOS couldn't see it. It was the adaptor's problem, not DOS's.

DOS did support things like SCSI optical drives, via drivers, but then
all optical drives need drivers for DOS, however they are attached.

The same applies to SATA, SAS, etc.

BIOS support on INT 11 or GTFO.

I don't think it is at all, no.

The BIOS is a hardware thing, not a DOS issue. So no.

Generic video implementation? Again not a DOS problem. DOS itself has
next to no graphics support. _Apps_ do that: it's their problem. Few
DOS apps support anything more than generic SVGA anyway.

DOS can't access the full capability of any PC in the last 30 years.
This is a red herring too.

BIOSes are a problem but not in the way you seem to think.
