Extract floppy.zip to a temporary folder off the root of the drive. 2. Insert blank floppy diskette in drive A: CAUTION All data on the floppy diskette will be destroyed! 3. From the root directory run MAKEFLPY.bat to create the two required BIOS update floppies. 4. Boot the system with the first BIOS update floppy. When prompted, insert the second BIOS update floppy to continue the BIOS update. 5.

Press to enter BIOS Setup, and re-enter the custom values recorded earlier. Press to save the values and exit Setup. 8. In the unlikely event that a BIOS error occurs during the BIOS update process, see "Recovering the BIOS" for instructions on performing a BIOS recovery. Other Bootable Storage Update 1. Copy the afudos.exe, f.bat, fbb.bat, and the .ROM files to a bootable storage such as a USB DISK-ON-KEY. 2. Place the bootable storage such as USB DISK-ON-KEY containing the new BIOS into USB port of the system, and boot to pure DOS mode (non hi-mem or memory management environment). 3.
