this is very true !!!!! (you would also have to kwow how to patch
all the bugs in the chip set , via s/w)
You will also have to support all bios calls that are made by all
the code that is running on your machine (unless linux does not use them????
i do not know ... please tell me)
you will also have to configure all PCI devices (even bios makers have
a hard time with this .... i've seen it so many times)
your machine would NOT be a perfect PC ....
i still find this very interesting........
