Accessing PC BIOS

Good news of a sort... I may have been wrong about the PC Weasel being out
of production. At least their web site is sstill up.

IIRC, I paid $350 for my PC Weasel card. I feel I've gotten my money's worth
out of it because not only does it allow me to administer a BIOS on some
machines (not all) but it is very useful when making bootable CDs. I do a
lot of that. I work for the Math Department at the University of Wisconsin
and we have an automatic linux installation system. You just boot from a CD
and it runs the install. At one time we were doing the same thing with
Windows. I would not have wanted to get someone over to look at the screen
every time my boot CD failed when i was first setting up these systems. That
would be a bother but even worse is that it's hard to find someone who knows
what to look for in a screen full of boot messages.
