Accessing mainboard bios information

Asked by TonyNJones in Processor Programming for Specific Platforms

Tags: bios, information, mainboard

I am writing a simple utility (in C++ or Delphi) to gather information about the local machine.  How can I access mainboard data?  The mainboard manufacturer, for instance, can be found in memory starting at 0xF0000 but the precise memory location varies between machines.  I could not find a Windows API routine.  The registry does not hold the information.  Most machines are running Win9x with varying BIOS manfacturers.  Can anyone help?
