Is it possible to change your system BIOS? In particular I have a 25 Mhz
386 motherboard with version 2.13 of AMI BIOS dated 5-19-89. It does not
possess video or system shadowing, and I would like to have these options
in hardware. Could the procedure be as simple as transplanting a new
BIOS set ? Should I stick with AMI or does some other manufacturer offer 
particular advantages ? My system configuration is as follows:

Hardware:
Amptron 25 Mhz 386-DX with 256k internal cache
AMI BIOS V2.13 (5-19-89)
4 Mbytes RAM (80 ns) 
1 ST251-1 HDD with AMS FD/HD controller
1 ST296N HDD  with Future Domain 1800 SCSI controller
2 1.44M FDD
1 360K FDD

Software:
MS-DOS 4.01
QEMM V5.11
