Yes.
I am hoping that the OGC card can route messages from the mainboard
firmware to the OGC card's rs-232 port. That way you have a working
console, which is useful for booting an OS (which device to boot from,
what file to boot, what flags to add). From what I've been reading,
the LinuxBIOS people would find this useful as well.
It almost sounds like what you're asking for is the ability to watch
the 80x25 text framebuffer, scan it periodically for changes, and then
send that out via serial using vt100 codes so as to replicate what one
would see on the VGA screen.
How do we deal with the 24-line/25-line disparity?
