Thoughts/opinions -- After updating the primary BIOS and confirming
everything works, should I update both BIOSes, or leave the backup.

I would update both, if the main bios is stable then i would. as if for some
reason the mian bios fails in future you'll be booting from the backup,
which is older.

Too bad there isn't a BIOS-to-BIOS copy feature. Ahh well.

So far I've been backing up the main one to floppy, restoring it to the
second, then booting from the second one (to test) and loading the main.

I'm leaning towards keeping them both at the same revision just to
reduce hassle.

I keep one version bios previous until I prove out the new bios for a week
or so. Then I update bios 2.
