If you want to update your BIOS, you'll usually need a DOS disk - but
there's no reason to use MS-DOS, especially not if DR-DOS (which was much
better anyway) is freely downloadable.
ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos/DR-DOS.703
(Or you just use FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org/) which is even Open
Source - but last time I checked, it wasn't in a state where I'd trust it
to update my firmware without crashing).
