Or some emulation development environments are enough. I guess for most things you can use QEMU for your development and testing. See this page in the wiki for more information: http://linuxbios.org/QEMU_Build_Tutorial I don't know how hardware-dependent (U)EFI is or has to be, though. For certain parts you might have to use actual hardware... Uwe. -- http://www.hermann-uwe.de | http://www.holsham-traders.de http://www.crazy-hacks.org | http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org
