I have MASM 6.1 on my MSDN folder if needed.

I was wondering, for a BIOS that has to fit in 8kB of storage, is VC 2013 going to be able to squeeze it in?

worse that code has to be 8088 CPU to potentially boot DOS

the old BIOS address space was 64kB but the actual firmware was a tiny 8kB initially. It has grown significantly over the years.
