To je volovina! S.M.A.R.T je standartizovane (jako rozsireni ATA protokolu)
a jako takove je naprosto nezavisle na tom, je-li vyuzivano BIOSem, jadrem
operacniho systemu (resp. prislusnym driverem), nebo userspace programem.

Tj. BIOS si to klidne muze zapinat, nebo vypinat, ale klidne tak muze
SMARTY zapnout cokoliv jineho, staci je poslet disku pres ATA sbernici
prislusne prikazy...

Chapu, ze v pripade specialniho hardware muze byt BIOS nezbytny (protoze
jedine vyrobce desky vi, co presne se musi s hardwarem provest),
tady ale hlaska o tom, ze "S.M.A.R.T... is an advanced BIOS feature" neni
nic jineho, nez dalsi marketingova lez...
