"mini.ima" looks interesting...  1474560 Bytes (Floppy Raw-Image)

OK, I have copied the "mini.ima" (it is a Rescue  Floppy  to  restore  a
BIOS from a crash or something like this) to a  new  name,  Loop-Mounted
and copied all files except "PBiosWin.exe" and "PBiosWin.vxd" to the new
image.

Hmmm, now I have to find a Floppy-Drive because I can install my  AsusEZ
Bios from USB/CD/Floppy, but not boot from USB (AsusTek A7V600-X).

I will try to get a Floppy Disk today...  And I will report back.
