David,

SMM/SMI seem to be a possible solution. If it is "undetectable" by the OS, I
am wondering why OSes can still detect it : "Windows/Linux define an SMI
Timeout within which SMM Handlers should complete their job and return
control back to OS normal operations. Otherwise the OS will crash. "
[Wikipedia,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_Mode]

I will contact Darmawan when I will finish to read his book :-)

thanks,
