A long time ago I added a little bios code to my pc by programming and installing an eprom on a post card. The code was executed at boot time before most of the bios code was executed. Is this still possible with current desktops?
Yes, it's how things like RAID cards and PXE-capable network cards work. With some boards, you can also add modules to the file that is flashed onto the BIOS EEPROM on the motherboard (using cbrom from DOS or a similar tool) so you don't need an extra card (sometimes done to e.g. boot from a SCSI card which doesn't have it's own BIOS).
