afudos /i<filename.rom>
where “filename.rom” means the latest (or original) BIOS file that you
copied to the bootable floppy disk.

DOS prompt.

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.
Write down the BIOS file name to a piece of paper. You need to type
the exact BIOS file name at the prompt.
