Those Rotten VGA BIOS Setup Screens

[Linux for blind general discussion]

     Apparently some servers support the IPMI protocol to allow

There is an Intel article about it.

I don't know for sure that it would actually work with any accessibility 
tools, but it would be an interesting project if somebody wants to look 
into it.
