...lity , I think...where you press ALT + F2 to enter the AwardFlash which was in the bios that was in the motherboard I have .
When I used the floppy with the boot files and the uniflash and the .BIN bios file the in-bios AwardFlash popped upstraight away and the flashing didn't stop .
The in-bios awardflash utility just took over .
I suppose though , you may have meant I should have looked at the Uniflash download itself to find a ReadMe text .
..silly but lucky me this time eh .
...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.
