What this reads is if it has UEFI, it has no basic input/output system.
That makes no sense. Without *a* basic input/output system, by whatever
name, non-volatile storage's controller doesn't get found, so program
code doesn't get found and loaded, keyboard can't redirect into setup,or be
logically connected, etc. UEFI provides basic input/output services,
so it is a BIOS, just a rather evolved one with a changed name, little
different than when Lucky Goldstar changed its name to LG.

Which ones can't find a keyboard, mouse, storage controller or other common I/O
device? What am I missing?
