Hm, looks difficult. I'd suggest using PXE booting, with universal 
packet driver
[ http://www.emboot.com/products_UniversalPacketDriver.htm ],
no idea how big your Wattcp TFTP client program is, and if it supports 
uploading files.
I've never tried uploading files with DOS as OS, just used packet driver 
+ WGET (400KB)
combined with a RAMDISK for temporary storage.

Strange that your BIOS stuff is already 1.44MB, my latest motherboard 
has a 8Mbit chip, which is 1MB, but that's about it,
all other motherboards have lower BIOS disksize capacity.
On the other hand, I could assume you let users write the current BIOS 
to disk before writing latest BIOS file to the chip.
