I haven’t a clue what the goal is or most of what is going on. But I must say, not having seen a BIOS POST or menu prior to the later 90s/early 2000s and onward I am blown away by the BIOS on your machine. Basically it makes me think/understand that our “fancy” (often clunky) UEFI graphical BIOS menus are just getting us back to where we already were.
Fun stuff!
I still remember the first time I saw that American Megatrends BIOS back in the days, I was totally blown away! You can use it with a mouse as well IIRC
Why this style didn't stick before coming back as UEFI, we'll never know. Maybe it needed more ROM space and manufacturers were cheap
