Older BIOSes may contain outdated option ROMs for RAID controllers, network interfaces, or other onboard devices. By extracting and replacing these modules, you can improve compatibility, fix bugs, or add new features. Legacy modules run in 16-bit real mode (option ROMs), while EFI modules run in 64-bit protected mode (UEFI applications), and MMTool handles both. This type of modification is especially popular among users building NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems or servers that rely on RAID functionality.
