5.1.3 Using AFUDOS to update the 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.
To update the BIOS using the AFUDOS.EXE:
1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS
file for your motherboard. Save the BIOS file to a bootable floppy disk.
The BIOS information on the screen is for reference only. What you see
on your screen may not be exactly the same as shown.
Write down the BIOS file name to a piece of paper. You need to type the
exact BIOS file name at the prompt.
