Could you please ask again? It could indeed be that they lock registers. (It could be something similar to some of the superIO chipsets that can enable/disable (lock/unlock) access to registers). The BIOS can at least start the hardware, so the hardware does work :-) Note: I saw your disclaimer and I thus have no high hopes :-).
