Before I start working on this I would like to find out if it is possible or at least useful.
Is it feasible? To create a BIOS that would help the kernel (working together).
What if the BIOS booted the PC in protected mode , enabling the A20 (taking away all that backwards support, so on), And then implement a realible interface.
Wouldn't that be faster? Would the kernel be able to communicate to it?
Thanks Profetas
