Proper way to flash backup Bios

[maxx_75]

ok I can't seem to find out if my X3 has 2 Megs of bios or 2.25 Megs.


I have 3294 on 5678 and 3.01 on 1234. What I would like to do is flash the backup 256 with 3.03 the only stock that will work with my .6B and then use it to flash 1234 with 3294 so that both 1M banks will have the 3294 bios. SO this is 2.25 Megs of bios storage yes ? It isnt clear what switch config I should have to flash the backup and the best way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can reflash the backup BIOS (256k).

For safety reasons, the only place you can reflash it is within X3CL.

If you go into ConfigLive and into BIOS options, you'll see an option to flash Backup BIOS.

So then it does have 2.25 Megs then ? Also if I choose to backup the Eprom to the X3 where does it go ?

The backup of the EEPROM is stored on the i2c on the chip itself. This chip also holds the X3 settings.
