You can either write a short program to dump the area of memory your ROM
BIOS is mapped to, or you can buy an EPROM burner that comes with software
for reading and writing EPROM's. The former is the easier and cheaper of
the two methods. If you would like, I would be happy to send you some
source code for dumping PC/XT or PC/AT ROM BIOS's to disk. The programs
are really quite simple, ie easy to fancy up and make them do *exactly*
what you want.
