You say:
BIOS is a firmware that is embedded on a small memory chip on the system board (commonly referred to as a motherboard).
I'm wondering: is that BIOS chip addressable from an app, possibly written in some language like C, assembler, python, or the like? Back in the Apple 2 days, we used to use the BASIC "peek" and "poke" commands to alter things we wanted to make "better", haha.

Escape,
Control+Alt+F3,
Control+Alt+Del,
Control+Alt+Shift+Del (using Del from the keypad),
Control+Insert,
Control+Shift+Esc,
Fn+[any "F" function key] (on some laptops).
As shown above, the keystroke can vary from machine to machine, but
machines manufactured by the same manufacturer, for the most part anyway,
will have the same keystroke.
BIOS is a firmware that is embedded on a small memory chip on the system
board (commonly referred to as a motherboard). It controls the keyboard,
monitor, disk drives, and other devices involved.
Try to remember though, there can just about always be exceptions.

Hello
Thanks, I looked at system information and it says BIOS is American
Megatrends. Is that what I have to google? The system name just says "to be
filled by O.E.M".

What it sounds like you are truly speaking of is not CMOS, but what is
called the BIOS.
The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is where the boot sequence (boot order)
is determined for the machine and how you the user gets to this, is
different for each various machine.
Just go online and search for your make and BIOS keystroke.

Hello list
I am just wondering if, after so many years, if there is a way to access
CMOS. I want to change the boot sequence but to get sighted assistance who
knows about CMOS is a challenge and I do not want to unplug everything to
take the pc to a shop.
