PCI IDE Card

[Dave Andruczyk]

Even on old systems that don't have an "alternate" boot choice, by inserting a
card with a bootable bios the system should be able to boot off of it.  BIOS's
like this include SCSI and PCI IDE cards, they typically use the INT13
extension to do so...  So even on systems that do NOT have the choice to boot
from SCSI/"other", inserting a card with a bootable bios should allow the
system to boot from devices plugged into that new controller..  (I have done it
many times in the past, on systems as old as 486/33's)
