I wish to crossflash C51GU01 to 6100K8MA-RS.
Would a flash from DOS be better than using WinFlash?
What utility and parameters should be used? I was planning to use AwardBIOS Flash Utility V8.60H.
Also, how may I acquire a backup of the current BIOS?
Current BIOS does not seem to be in an easily extractable form and is available:
