Updating the BIOS file
To update the BIOS file using the AFUDOS utility:
1.
Get the latest BIOS file for the motherboard from Pegatron. Save the BIOS
file to a bootable floppy disk.
Write the BIOS filename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS
filename at the DOS prompt.
2.
Get the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from Pegatron. Copy the AFUDOS utility
to the bootable floppy disk you created earlier.

Boot the system in DOS mode, then at the prompt type:
afudos /i[filename]
where [filename] is the latest or the original BIOS file on the bootable floppy disk.
A:\>afudos /iM2N-VMS.ROM
