Hi!
I think we can assume pentiums at the least since only the pent m/b's and above really have flashable bois's. So why not go for a pent optimised compiler and maybe have someone check the asm producded <evil grin>
personally, i think the gnu-bios should be done in 100% assembly, for
I do not think so. Well, it would be cleaner to write in assembly, but you do not want to write neither bios setup nor grub in anything else than C. And if you stick with gcc 2.7.2, compilers are ok.
