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.
