Here is an odd question.
I never "just save" a BIOS I am not updating.
(I do save them when updating/flashing...)

Is there any particular reason a person should
have a copy of their current BIOS?
If it gets destroyed, the computer will not boot
to a floppy to be able to re-flash anyway, right?

Which part/(parts) of this am I missing...

A related question:  I am assuming a BIOS can
be down-graded to an older version. (Never
had to...) Is this correct?
