Is it possible to access the BIOS of a Mac and if so how?
A Mac's "BIOS" is not really a BIOS. It is OpenFirmware, which many Mac users find to be better than BIOS. To access OpenFirmware, you must use two hands on the keyboard and the key combination CMD-OPT-O-F.
How much does a BIOS cost?
It's not really clear how much a BIOS costs since they're not marketed to end users but are sold to motherboard manufacturers. A BIOS is essentially a part of a motherboard. A BIOS is likely to be removable on a modern motherboard and technically it could be possible to replace a BIOS if it went bad or if for some reason it was to be upgraded, but for BIOS upgrades usually it is sufficient to flash (reprogram) the existing BIOS.

Does the motherboard configuration stored in BIOS setup need to be changed when a new floppy drive is installed?
For most users, no. The BIOS default is to search for floppy drives on boot up. However, if someone has changed those settings, like I always do with mine, then you may need to switch it back on in the BIOS. If you don't have a floppy, or have one but never use it anymore, then switching off the 'floppy seek' option in the BIOS can speed up the boot up process.
