BIOS is merely one specific type of (shitty beyond belief) firmware on one specific type of (shitty beyond belief) hardware. (Well, I've seen the odd non-PC-platform use the term too. TI DSPs come to mind.) Don't make the mistake of assuming that BIOS is synonym to firmware even if it may be the only firmware you've encountered so far. Thank you //Peter
