I have a 486 with a mouse driven BIOS…

Edit: Here is a screenshot I found online that looks like the one I have (note the 1994 copyright at the top):

The BIOS on some old Thinkpads has a bird flapping its wings as a mouse cursor.

My 560X from 1998 has one of those BIOSes, too.

That Antivirus must have had the last security update decades ago lol

At least the attack surface is super small right now. Probably not many viruses out in the wild targeting 486s.
