III. Q: How does DualBIOS
Answer:
TM
1. DualBIOS
technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot
up procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update,
and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment.
TM
2. DualBIOS
provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS
used during boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs,
boot-up is still possible. In the DualBIOS
option will guarantee that if either the main BIOS or backup BIOS is
corrupted, the DualBIOS
the wrong BIOS automatically.
TM
3. DualBIOS
provides manual recovery for the BIOS. DualBIOS
technology contains a built-in flash utility, which can flash your system BIOS
from backup to main and/or visa versa. There is no need for an
OS-dependent flash utility program.
TM
4. DualBIOS
contains a one-way flash utility. The built-in one-way flash
utility will ensure that the corrupt BIOS is not mistaken as the good BIOS
during recovery and that the correct BIOS (main vs. backup) will be flashed.

IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOS
Answer:
1. Every user should have DualBIOS
computer viruses.

system BIOS. Most commercial products on the market do not have
solutions to guard against this type of virus intrusion. The DualBIOS
technology will provide a state-of-the-art solution to protect your PC:

With a conventional single system BIOS PC, the PC will not be functional
until it is sent for repairs.
Case II.) If the "Auto Recovery" option is enabled in the DualBIOS
and if a virus corrupts your system BIOS, the backup BIOS will automatically
reboot the system and correct the main BIOS.
