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.

Is it possible to flash an external BIOS chip using this tool?

[ilkerzeki]

External bios chip needs a kind of special hardware changing with the manufacturer..

[brindle]

Wow, very extended list. Thanks a lot!

Slightly rusty entry does not include my favorite option the / GAN switch which means it completely overwrites all blocks with a chip condition check, but a very useful thing has been removed from the latest public version.
Luckily, I found the latest set in which it still works.

I'm getting the error about this not being compatible with my system. Any utilities to flash from within windows or that doesn't mention a floppy drive as I have seen in utilities area?

Thanks in advance!

u need afuwin.exe for 32bit windows or afuwinx64.exe for 64bit windows to do bios flash updating in windows, not afudos.exe.  look for those tools instead
