I may have missed part of this thread, so if this doesn't make sense,
I apologize.  

If Xenix doesn't use the BIOS for anything (because the BIOS doesn't
work w/ protected mode), then by extension, OS/2 and Unix don't use
the BIOS either...

Then howcum' I needed to upgrade my BIOS when I installed an ESDI
controller?
