at least by current understanding, DOS does everything by calling BIOS for whatever is needed to be done.

so a UEFI BIOS (that is loaded by UEFI, and emulates BIOS) is entirely possible. UEFI 'DOS' might be possible, but is really about as useful as 'CTTY COM1'.

you might prove me wrong, but there is an awful lot of work ahead of you
