Ah wait, having read a bit more, they are. Good luck to them. I would
have thought that redo-ing the entire BIOS would be a bit extreme. A
'simpler' serial console video/keyboard interaction firmware chip would
have been nice. If you really want to be funky, add in network support
for TCP/IP-based BIOS interaction. Otherwise, for the five-nines,
replacing the whole BIOS is extreme.
