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.
