Everything i've seen so far didn't do this.  They didn't support any
operating systems, i.e. the software was only able to be launched from
The Unintelligent Program Loader, and i think they only supported ASPI
as the interface.

At least Tandberg does it this way.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
