ACPITOOL v1.1 (Announce)

And could you easily load VGA BIOS from an image file instead of embedded UEFI FW? Just for a case I would be able to find and extract some useful VGA BIOS for my 11th gen core to be able to load it without BIOS modding that I cannot do on this machine. But I'm not sure if such VGA BIOS already exist for this HW, I'll have to search...
Anyway, I heard that UEFI FB could be used also after boot exit so it may be usable at least for text mode, just need to make some emulation layer that will expose INT10h services to DOS programs (those don't use VGA directly) emulated via FB...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
