one of my friend had been using a gadget called wierdwire ..it just
automated chip having a embedded linux...which sees the bios and dictate
things ...you can manipulate it through keyboard...

it has a very low memory and the vendor said that low mem was kept to
control its price ...anyways after pc boot up u do not even need one....
the gadget is an indian make ...a local vendorer ...lemme check whether they
are still in business or not ...due to slow down many companies closed :(

Subject: weasel Pc


wondered if anybody had any experience with or knowledge of this product.
Url is
www.realweasel.com/intro.html
I thought I read a while back that a blind person had put this in his
computer
and was able to use it for reading what comes up in the bios before boot
and, if
I understood correctly, he could then also make changes with sighted help.
but
I'm not sure about this. there's apparently both an ISA and a PCI version.
Not
saying I'd rush out and buy one or that i necessarily want to give up one of
my
slots to this (except temporarily when need arises), but it is frustrating
not
to be able to check bios settings without sighted help. Any input on this,
especially if anybody has had firsthand experience, would be appreciated.
TIA.
