Dual BIOS -- Update both?
Thoughts/opinions -- After updating the primary BIOS and confirming
everything works, should I update both BIOSes, or leave the backup. -- Ah, the miracle mile, where value wears a neon sombrero and there's not a single church or library to offend the eye. |

I would update both, if the main bios is stable then i would. as if for some reason the mian bios fails in future you'll be booting from the backup, which is older. |

Too bad there isn't a BIOS-to-BIOS copy feature. Ahh well. So far I've been backing up the main one to floppy, restoring it to the second, then booting from the second one (to test) and loading the main. I'm leaning towards keeping them both at the same revision just to reduce hassle. -- Politicians, like diapers, have to be changed frequently, and for the very same reason. |

I keep one version bios previous until I prove out the new bios for a week
or so. Then I update bios 2. Regards, Bob Troll |
