Well, no one else has posted in here, so I'll put out a guess that it'll be machine code? :D

Before you can do anything, you will need a copy of your own BIOS file, usually it's best just to grab the latest BIOS for your motherboard from the manufacturer. You will also need a copy of a modified RAID BIOS module that matches your onboard chipset.

With the use of special purpose BIOS manipulation utilities written by the BIOS manufacturers themselves it's actually possible to insert and remove BIOS modules in to and out of the main motherboard BIOS. These BIOS modules are actually referred to as "PCI BIOS Extension Modules" because what they actually to is add support to the motherboard BIOS for other devices that may be on the motherboard. Both AWARD and AMI have the required utilities for this manipulation so before you continue you'll need to grab the relevant utility to suit you motherboard BIOS.

BIOS PROGRAM
AMI AMIBCP (http://www.stormpages.com/crazyape/amibcp.html)
AWARD CBROM (http://www.stormpages.com/crazyape/cbrom.html)

Once you have the required program you can begin exploring the depths of your BIOS file and inserting / removing modules, I'll give an example for each of the two programs.

I found that quote on this (http://www.stormpages.com/crazyape/mbraid.html) site after doing a google search for 'motherboard bios editing'. It can be done, but it requires the correct software (some limited types are linked in the quote), and a solid knowledge of the hardware on your MOBO.

It's a place to at least start. I would strongly suggest duplicating my google search and trying some variants to find (hopefully) the documentaion that will help.
