Hello Felix,

What this reads is if it has UEFI, it has no basic input/output system.
That makes no sense. Without *a* basic input/output system, by whatever

Well, in practice, when we talk about "BIOS" compatibility, we are
really referring to compatibility with "the" BIOS --- as in, the
original IBM PC's ROM BIOS, and the programming interface that it presents.

FreeDOS, and many other MS-DOS-compatible operating systems, absolutely
need to run on something that is compatible with "the" BIOS.  (At least
for now.)

Such a compatible BIOS not only needs to be able to find a keyboard ---
it must also allow (e.g.) FreeDOS and MS-DOS programs to read keystrokes
or send commands to the keyboard in a similar way as they might on an
original IBM PC.

This is the part that will be missing on an UEFI-only system.

Thank you!
