-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 By IBM PC do you mean a machine made by IBM, or a machine compatible with that architecture? If you are referring to a compatible machine, then this should still be doable I think either with a DOS/win9x boot disk, or it should even be doable with gdb under GNU/Linux. Do you remember what the memory address was? Also, I just remembered that there were some 486 machines, and even some early 586 machines that let you get into bios via a hotkey sequence from within DOS. I remember using one such machine with provox7, and while the accessibility wasn't great, because the numpad review functionality went away as soon as you used that hotkey combination to get into bios, it still did do the job, since every single key press read the full screen from what I recall, which incidentally, was in columns as well.
