Basically the BIOS does just work on the hardware; every program can
do that, BUT if you don't have PCI support in your BIOS, then most
likely you don't have any PCI slot in your motherboard.
I don't have PCI specs, but I've seen a nice collection at a book
store (intended for hardware developers, I guess).
