Could you please ask again? It could indeed be that they lock registers.
(It could be something similar to some of the superIO chipsets that can
enable/disable (lock/unlock) access to registers).
The BIOS can at least start the hardware, so the hardware does work :-)
Note: I saw your disclaimer and I thus have no high hopes :-).
Thanks in advance,
Wim.
