I've got an even broader request: I'd appreciate pointers on bios hacking
and tools in general. APM suspend-to-disk breaks on my machine and some
others with Linux, and I'd like to disassemble my BIOS to figure out what
this code is trying to do that Linux isn't liking. We adhere precisely to
the official spec, but I have a feeling something's undocumented or
assumed. Even DOS mode tools or pointers would be great: what's the
easiest way to extract this code and analyze it?
