AMI Bios flash tool - AFUDOS.EXE

[f3bandit]

Here's the command line syntax for AFUDOS.EXE "AMI FLASH UTILITY for DOS". Type these commands just like you see them, while replacing "mybios.rom" with the name of the file and ext you are trying to flash. This should help alot of people struggling with understanding how to type these commands properly.
