I think one of the reasons why they wrote the BIOS in asm is because
it makes the result code small, as the size is limited in 64KB. What
do you do to make sure that the ported code stays within the limit?
plus, some addresses in those 64k are hard wired to specific interrupt handlers. Quite some code out there assumes this.

It's still possible, but it wont be completely clean and easy.
