Anything those can do, DOS can also do. But, just like them, you have to tell it to do so. Unfortunately, nobody bothers releasing DOS drivers. The biggest problem (aside from lack of more skilled DOS developers) is proprietary stuff, no specs, etc. But Intel might have released some details, and I'm sure you're not the first to want to use it under a non-mainstream OS.
