You forget the drivers. Those are architecture specific and had to be written from scratch. Support for a new color display in particular proved to be difficult.

What color? Green, amber, or white on black? I don't remember the first IBM PCs having color. I thought many machine specific drivers were in the BIOS ROM along with a loader? But since I'm not a PC expert, that could be wrong.
