For up to win98se it's possible to get at the metal. For NT, Win2000 
and XP forget about it.  Linux is not happy with people palying with 
raw metal too but it does provide raw drivers.

Dos is easy and actually a good choice.  It's easily understood and 
there are already tools and com compatbility with many of the uglier
versions of winders.
