I have an AS200-4/233 with SRM "V6.2-2, built on Aug 7 1996 at 11:55:31" and I'm looking to upgrade to V6.9. It's not clear to me what needs to go on the floppy. What exactly is this "mkboot.exe"? Do I need Digital Unix to run it (in which case, I'm stuck)? Is this firmware upgrade even worth the bother?
