Last time I used it, it created a floppy that was then used to rewrite the
MBR of the hard drive with the DDO software. It doesn't update the BIOS,
instead it sits between the BIOS and the OS and acts as a translator. I'd
be happy to extract the image to floppy and create a dd dump of the floppy
for you.
