...this is why I asked here about the in-bios awardflash uti

? Alt-F2 ? There's no Alt-F2 in uniflash. I think you got it to do a recovery flash. That won't ask you if you are sure. That is an emergency last-resort procedure.

...I mean...what looked like the awardflash application came on the screen after I inserted and booted from the Uniflash floppy - and then the bios flashed - I didn't see any Uniflash during the process , it began and finished very quickly automatically .
I didn't see the Uniflash name at all and it appeared to be the Awardflash utility on the screen .
I think the awardflash utility in the bios began the uniflash process even though I had the Uniflash on the floppy , I'm thinking it did that because Awardflash was the in bios even though I booted from the Uniflash floppy ...
I just thought for a moment I may have loaded the latest awardflash onto the floppy , but no , I just checked and it's the Uniflash utility on the floppy .
...I must have been dreaming...

The recovery process is using a routine in the bios chip. not one from the floppy. it only reads the file from the floppy.

...the flash application gets added to the floppy diskette when one flashes one's bios , aha...

...I forgot to read the read me text eh .
