hi,

i've seen that there already have been some
messages to bios flash via memdisk image.

i also had some problem with that. the programmer
of "UNIFLASH" told me, that memdisk is using
protected mode and this should be a problem,
because uniflash only works with real mode.
i've found i amiflash that works with protected
mode and with this i can flash the bios. [with memdisk]

but: is it also possible to use memdisk only in
real mode?
because: maybe sometimes i will need a newer flash-
tool, and there is maybe no support for protected
mode again!

bye, johannes (jaf)
