+  - BIOS "POST" screen: Change BIOS logo to PNG format. To avoid having
+    to render a PNG in roughly 10 different video modes, add code to
+    VGA draw code to allow a BIOS logo "overlay" to be rendered
+    independent of the video mode. Depending on machine type load one
+    of four PNG files from disk or from inside DOSBox-X itself.
+    PNG requirements: 224x224 or smaller, bit depth of 8bpp or less,
+    color palette (not grayscale), no alpha channel, and must not be
+    interlaced. For best compatibility, use less than 64 colors, or
+    perhaps just 16 colors. Much like the Windows 95 LOGO.SYS, you can
+    change the logo to your taste by placing specifically named PNG
+    files in the same directory as your dosbox.conf or current working
+    directory. Have fun. (joncampbell123).
