This may explain later BIOS-file references. ## Relationships and overlays The source places this note in a shared evidence cluster with [[Beetle PSX HW|Beetle PSX HW]]. Within the larger collection, this evidence extends [[Vendor-Agnostic Recovery|vendor-agnostic recovery]] and [[Continuity Architecture|continuity architecture]] by showing how software, hardware, identity, and pre-OS control depend on recoverable interfaces. ## Evidentiary status and open leads Separate PC firmware (“BIOS”) from console firmware/ROM requirements; the same word is used for different layers. ## Source - [[Scanned_20260730-1719|Scanned_20260730-1719]]
