I've been in that situation. There used to be a very handy Firefox addon called "Lazarus" that helped. Quantum killed it. This may help - not tried it yet:

I defer to your clearly superior knowledge of this area. Have you written about this anywhere that I could read?




Unfortunately not. Proper writeup would require sitting down for some software (and hardware) archeology to dig out stuff that in some cases seems to have been pulled off the internet on purpose (original open source EFI 1.10 release) or by virtue of disappearing companies (SRM source & documentation disks for OEMs, various random workstation documentation and programs that don't necessarily made it to bitsavers, things like that)
