I've always wondered what the common set of BIOS services are required
to run expansion ROM code. If it's very small (ideally, none) it seems
like it should be possible to get this sort of thing working for a lot
of cards by running the code in some sort of emulator or virtual
machine. I'm assuming that DOSemu has done a lot of the work necessary
for this.
Maybe you could even run the expansion BIOS inside an emulator to
trace and reverse-engineer the code?
