Would be even more mind-blowing if it ran real BIOS code on js x86 emulator.

  The problem with that would be emulating all the embedded controllers and other hardware associated with the various bios menu entries. What would be cool is if the bios interface was coded using a certain menu rendering system that could be replicated in JS and all you would need is a BIOS dump of certain structures which would then render the appropriate menu without having to run the code associated with the underlying choices. Shouldn't be that hard to do. I believe that's sort of how it alrwady works. It would be nice to see it happen though.

    Most of the junk in BIOS settings doesn't actually talk to the hardware. It just stores flags that other layers of the firmware read.
