Linux was such a hack back then because those ancient machines were a mishmash of old and new designs, never implemented the same way twice.. Manufacturers didn't feel a need to publish proper specs because BIOS extensions were mostly "good enough" to nursemaid whatever archaic non-Windows OS you had into the 21st century. That is to say, device drivers, included in the form of little microchips to be read upon boot...! Nowdays the BIOS is basically gone and drivers are taken a little more seriously.

C-BIOS(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual C-BIOS(7)
NAME
C-BIOS - provides open source BIOS ROM files for MSX computers
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the C-BIOS rom files.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
C-BIOS is an open source BIOS for MSX computers. C-BIOS can be shipped with MSX emulators so they are usable out-of-the-box.
Details about the BIOS calls available in the ROM files can be found at http://map.tni.nl/ but keep in mind the C-BIOS is work in progress
and does not support all BIOS calls yet.
C-BIOS comes in three versions currently. C-BIOS_MSX1 is compatible with MSX1 machines, C-BIOS_MSX2 is compatible with MSX2 machines and C-
BIOS_MSX2+ is compatible with MSX2+ machines.
Each version comes in three localisation variants, an international, Japanse (JP) and Brazilian (BR) one.
