You can enable/disable smi_l in the bios. I'm going to check that today.
If smi_l is disabled, your OS will never know that the BUD asserted an
interruptt when you tried to write the BIOS> 


The remaining question, of course, is what you're supposed to do with that
interrupt, but that's next. 

it's rather amazing, but intel is shipping a server motherboard that
REQUIRES DOS to be upgraded. You have to wonder sometimes, what are people
thinking? The only exisiting SMI_L interrupt handler is in the BIOS!
