I am messing around with some coding and have some used/broken computers. I would like to see what kind of stuff I can do remotely to these computers.

I have a PXE boot setup to install operating systems remotely. What I am wondering is that if there is a way to pull the system/hardware information off of the machines from another computer (ethernet preferably) at the bios.

From there, I would like to save it as a file externally?(I would also be curious if I could wipe the data on these remotely too).

Hopefully, this is clear enough, let me know if you have questions.

I will eventually figure this out but I was hoping for a kickstart in the right direction.

Thanks for the help in advanced!

Well, maybe you can start 'hacking' the grub legacy source code, grub 0.97 already have network boot support, some file systems and a primitive hard disk driver.

As a bonuses, grub legacy works on protected mode but have some pretty simple functions to switch to real mode and from there you can call whatever BIOS services you want, so I think you can deviate grub from your primary function and adapt to your necessity.
