5.1.2 Using AFUDOS to copy the current BIOS
The AFUDOS.EXE utility can also be used to copy the current system
BIOS settings to a floppy or hard disk. The copy can be used as a backup
in case the system BIOS fails or gets corrupted.
1.
At the DOS prompt, type the command line:
afudos /o[filename]
where “filename” can be any user-provided filename of not more than
eight alphanumeric characters for the main filename and three
alphanumeric characters for the extension name.
Press <Enter>.
2.
The utility will copy the current system BIOS by default to the floppy
disk. Make sure that the floppy disk is not write-protected and has
enough space (at least 600 KB) to store the file.
The BIOS information on the screen is for reference only. What you see
on your screen may not be exactly the same as shown.
When the BIOS copy process is complete, the utility returns to the
DOS prompt.
