DESCRIPTION:  This creates a ROMPaq firmware diskette that can be used to restore the 
System ROM in the above Deskpro Series models with a 686J1 Family ROM.  

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running F10 Setup.  

This is the same System ROM version that was originally included on the newer 810e models.
It is not an upgrade.  It is made available here as a convenience for users who may need 
to restore it to their computer for any reason.  This version is also fully backward 
compatible with previous units that use the Whitney 810 chipsets in the 686J1 ROM family.
 
This ROM includes a ROM-based F10 Setup.  A Language Module option allows the user to 
select the language used in F10 Setup: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, 
Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish.  

NOTE:  The user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup, not in the operating system.

Enhancements/Fixes:
 - Adds support for the newer 810e models.

HOW TO USE:

1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  

4. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2.

system power to boot from the ROMPaq diskette.
