By "somewhat" I meant we'd be way more fortunate without the legacy I/O devices at all! But hpa is right, 4 lines of assembler is way better than (900?) lines of C.
My feeling is that if a CPU needs legacy i/o it should be built into the chip. HAH! ;-)
The BIOS should just list the machine resources, in a "non-BIOS" way, (oh wait, that's ACPI! :*)
Cheers!
