Anything done in BIOS would have to be sent to a third party machine
for either brail or speech output. The reason for that is no device
drives are present in cmos only video, keyboard and mouse. Now there
use to be a few working on speech and print output. But they got told
by orgs they asked money from that blind computer tech's would never
be. You have to have sight to work on computers to see what your
doing. So they quit and locked up all materials for said project. The
most interesting part is I know more blind in the box tech's then
sighted, and those orgs? Well they don't do much except keep the
prices of equipment for the blind as high as possible.
There is a asuse board and a gigabit board that is suppose to have
boot speech, but it just tells you the post boot and no BIOS.

Hi, Someone asked me a question, and I thought someone here would have
an
answer. They would like to know how to access the information on the
screen
before the start up sounds or JAWS gives the start up prompt.
Does anyone know if this is possible? they are using Windows7 and I
think
JAWS 13 Thank you in advance
