   16bit BIOS unfortunately exists only on a few emulators now,   
   but nothing on real hardware anymore.   
      
   So we are forced to take the UEFI route, I could write startup code as   
   64bit and then load my old 32bit OS which can switch to LM64 and back.   
      
   But even encumbering I may rewrite the whole thing as 64 bit soon.   
   hope to live long enough to see it working.
