I've only done it once and that was on my new Asus M2N-SLI that has a bios utility built right in to allow you to save the bios and update a new one. No dos required at all, just the bios image on a floppy or USB stick (or on a MS partition on a hard drive). However, for my friend Justin Case, I still have dos 6.3. I used dd to create floppy images and can make them whenever I need to. Unfortunatly, since 6.3 isn't public domain, I can't email it to you. When _does_ the licence on things like an old dos floppy expire or is it like Shakespear, 100 years after IBM (its IBM dos) dies?
