The main reason I want Freedos is to flash my hard drive with the latest
firmware. I assume that the hard drive cannot be found for this purpose
without legacy ATA support. I suppose unnecessary drivers (or worse necessary

BIOS has no mention of IDE or Legacy anywhere at all? If not, I would think
AHCI would include some degree of legacy support.
