Actually our next product could use that feature if it were
available. It's a general purpose medical computer. Basically a
really specialized laptop and our client wants it to be able to run
the Windows family of OS's in addition to Linux.
As well as reclaiming that $10/board there are lots of other hassles
involved with dealing with the BIOS vendors that we would prefer not
to have to deal with.
Just how many bios services would we be talking?
