I'd suggest using PXE booting, with universal packet driver [ http://www.emboot.com/products_UniversalPacketDriver.htm ], no idea how big your Wattcp TFTP client program is, and if it supports uploading files. I've never tried uploading files with DOS as OS, just used packet driver + WGET (400KB) combined with a RAMDISK for temporary storage.
Strange that your BIOS stuff is already 1.44MB, my latest motherboard has a 8Mbit chip, which is 1MB, but that's about it, all other motherboards have lower BIOS disksize capacity. On the other hand, I could assume you let users write the current BIOS to disk before writing latest BIOS file to the chip. > Cheers, > Steffen > Bernd ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
