Chapter 2: BIOS information
1. At the DOS prompt, type the command line:
afudos /o<filename>
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.
2. The utility will copy the current system BIOS by default to the floppy disk. Make
sure that the floppy disk is not write-protected and have enough space (at least
600KB) to store the file.
2.1.3 Using AFUDOS to copy BIOS from PC
The AFUDOS.EXE utility can also be used to copy the current system BIOS
settings to a floppy or hard disk. The copy can be used as a backup in case the
system BIOS fails or gets corrupted.
When the BIOS copy process is complete, the utility returns to the DOS
prompt.
