In a previous thread about bios support, there
was a discussion about (a mythical) someone
resurrecting DUET to provide a transition path.
To the best of my knowledge, no one stepped
up to do that work[0].

[0] Quite honestly, given that DUET was removed
upstream, I would have thought looking instead
at Clover (which is still supported) would be a
better option, but better only in some theoretical
sense, as there was no one to do that work
either.
I was wondering about whether this was possible (booting UEFI from
BIOS) too. For reference, DUET is described here:

Clover is described here:
