Hi,
I (Erik Smit, AKA Diversia)'m new to this list.
I don't think using a bios file would be very useable. AFAIK a BIOS is
system-specific and maybe in the time of CP/M al C128 where the same but
that doesn't work today. I don't think it would be a pretty sight using a
Amstrad 286 bios in a Commodore XT/86 Turbo.
I may be completely wrong about this but I don't think it's smart to is a
bios file.
