This was the rescue disk, which was basically an MS-DOS disk. You got a
command prompt so you could run chkdsk and fdisk. No extra drivers.
Now, it's possible the BIOS is taking the USB and putting it out to the
appropriate BIOS calls. I suspect that's what "legacy USB emulation" means
in the BIOS settings.

There were no graphics or mouse or anything involved. Since the topic was
the complexity of graphics programming, I just checked to see if the command
line came up and ran.
