Converting all utilities and applications which support BIOS currently to
native UEFI. UEFI should work better using pass-thru interfaces instead of
directly programming the controllers. On the other hand, lack of pass-thru
support under UEFI could make it harder to directly program the controllers
if needed. Will probaly try to find pass-thru system to fully test that
then just have the apps indicate that the system UEFI BIOS lacks support
for xyz, and to contact manufacturer or purchase a system with support and
have a list of examples on website. It would be funny if all these "PC"
applications then say to use a iMac for best compatibility (I don't have a
current enough iMac to test if Pass-Thru interfaces are enabled on them -
Mine is very old - I'll go get a new one...).
