Hi Tracy, when I flashed my bios before (I was really scared because of a
disaster I had once before), I just downloaded the bios update to a floppy
(with nothing else on the disk) and went for it.
Worked fine, no problems. However, this was a phoenix bios though. This was
the first time I had flashed a phoenix bios and it went really well.


Everything goes along fine until it asks if I want to save my current BIOS-
I say "Y"- name it, (oldbios.bin) then it starts the save process but ends
with "Can't File Source File!"-------
I'm not sure about this, it was a long time ago, but do you have to name the
current  bios? I don't remember having to name mine. I'm sure I just pressed
'Y' and then enter.
I'm wondering if you may have got the name wrong slightly?
Is there an instruction manual of any description on the website regarding
the bios flashing?
I wish I could help you more, but I'm not very good with this either, I
don't do it often enough.
I do hope someone can help more.
