Unfortunately, as far as I could tell, this is impossible to do if
you don't use both a pc with a parallel port and a parallel printer
or braille display.
No kind of emulation works in the bios.
I wonder whether something could be done in that regard.... I'm not
too good on such low level stuff.

Quite right, also works with the old Apollo II, unfortunatly you get
the hole screen dump and have to do it for each and every time you
want to know if you managed to change a setting.
Any one remember the old BIT, Braille Interface Terminal? It used a
hardware card, ISA, with fermware that had it opperational by the
time the bios loaded. The BIT worked in the bios.

I have read that using the print screen key in bios worked with
parallel printers. Some even claimed they used it successfully with
parallel braille displays unstead of printers.

Subject: accessible bios setup:thoughts?
Hello all:
I will be getting a desktop in the near future and I want to be able to
work my way through the bios and configure everything like I want (raid,
etc).
Have any of you found a way that can be used for someone across the net to
work with you? I have a friend who said he would help, and I could point
the webcam at the screen, but that's really hard if not impossible to read
from the glow of the screen. Are there other solutions?
I have a male - male VGA port setup. Could I possibly somehow set it up to
stream the video from the computer to something that I could transmit
across the net? this sounds like a cool little project, I'm just not sure
where to begin. I'd think Linux would be a lot easier to write this for.

Thanks,
