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 (8)
alpha-numeric characters for the main filename and three (3) alpha-numeric
characters for the extension name.
Press the Enter key.
The BIOS information on the screen is for reference only. What you see on your
screen may not be exactly the same as shown.
