Um, I believe the manual to be incorrect and that Asus advises a different
way.

If you intend to flash with the latest bios (1014), just download the zip
file.
After unzipping, you will see that there is a .exe file in there
(AFUDOS.exe)
as well as the bios file.

Make a bootable floppy.
Copy both the bios file and the AFUDOS.exe onto the floppy.
Put the floppy in and reboot.
After reboot, type AFUDOS with no parameter; it will give you
the correct syntax. Follow it replacing the filename with the
exact name of the bios.

You are right.
According to ASUS, you should only use AFUDOS and not the other
methods for the latest bios.
