>>From what I understand about flashing the BIOS, you will have
trouble doing it on any multi-tasking OS. Most flashing utilities
require booting DOS. The few I have seen that run under Windows
put window into the same mode. Between timing restrictions, and
the fact that accessing the BIOS while programing it is not a good
idea, I do not expect to see being able to do it any time soon.
