[craftyguy <1232877@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would love to be able to update my BIOS, however Acer's flash tool
only supports Windows. The BIOS appears to be based on Insyde EFI, and I
was able to extract a .fd file, however I wasn't able to find a utility
to actually flash it (from freedos or ??). Do you, or anyone here, know
of a way to update this?
