   I mentioned this to someone from Freedos, and they   
   didn't know of such a thing.   
      
   But even if it exists, it won't be public domain, so I won't   
   be putting it on my 100% pure public domain hard disk   
   image.   
      
   I will see if I can commission someone to write a public   
   domain version.   
      
   But even when I have that, I still want to get it off my hard   
   disk and into the firmware.   
      
   That option rom description in the previous message sounds   
   exactly what I want.   
      
   I want an option ROM to be installed on every computer   
   interested in running PDOS/386.   
      
   But is there an effective way to get it there without the   
   user needing to buy a special PCI card with a specially   
   programmed ROM?   
      
   When flash ram is just a flash away.
