2.1.2 Using AFUDOS to copy the current BIOS
The AFUDOS is a DOS-based application that lets you update the BIOS file using
a bootable floppy diskette. AFUDOS also allows you to copy the original BIOS file
to a floppy diskette.
You can use the current BIOS file as backup in case the system BIOS file fails or
gets corrupted during the flashing process.
To copy the current BIOS file:
1. At the DOS prompt, type the command line:
afudos /o
where “filename” can be any user provided filename of not more than eight (8)
alpha-numeric characters for the main filename and three (3) alpha-numeric
characters for the extension name.
Press the Enter key.
