Some OSes ( such as Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7 and * BSD ) require legacy BIOS functions which are provided by SeaBIOS.

A payload called SeaBIOS can be used to provide BIOS calls and thus allow coreboot to load operating systems that require those services, however most modern operating systems access hardware in another manner and only use BIOS calls during early initialization and as a fallback mechanism.

* iPXE, the successor to Etherboot, works when run under SeaBIOS.

The USB manager is composed of two parts, first a tiny USBD implementation ( USB stack ) then a simple WDM USB driver that is itself composed of two parts: The front part will receive calls from the NDISwrapper USB stack ( in fact from calls coming from the original Windows driver that were normally intended to go to the Windows USB stack ) and the rear part is using Linux USB stack.

Using an external and possibly customized XMS driver could help overcome issues with BIOS memory reporting functions causing the memory manager not to see all available memory, and on machines using non-standard gate-A20 switching methods, whereas using the internal XMS driver EMM386 could take advantage of speed-optimized 32-bit code for the XMS driver and relocate all but a tiny stub of the XMS driver into Extended Memory.

Many junipers ( e. g. J. chinensis, J. virginiana ) have two types of leaves: seedlings and some twigs of older trees have needle-like leaves 5 – 25 mm long ; and the leaves on mature plants are ( mostly ) tiny ( 2 – 4 mm long ), overlapping and scale-like.

Many plants, mostly ferns and mosses but also some flowering plants, disperse on the wind, relying on tiny spores or feathery seeds that can remain airborne over long distances notably Metrosideros trees from New Zealand spread on the wind across Oceania.

They are mostly used in aid climbing, and their value as protection, arresting a climber's fall, is marginal due to their low breaking strength, and the tiny surface area ( the HB 0 measures about 4 x 7 x 2. 5 mm ) in contact with the rock, though this can be offset by placing several micronuts at a time.
