DESCRIPTION:
This software contains the files needed to create a Multi-NIC Boot Utility
diskette.  The Multi-NIC Boot Utility (MNBU) diskette contains software to
boot any of the affected Deskpro models to MS-DOS, detect the Network 
Interface Controller (NIC) installed, load the correct NDIS driver for 
that NIC, and optionally begin installation of Microsoft Windows NT, 
Windows 95, or Windows 98.

Because every enterprise is different, certain files on this diskette must
be modified to work within your enterprise.  The flexibility of the 
diskette allows it to be used for tasks other than operating system 
installations.  For more details, please refer to SYSINV.DOC included in 
this SoftPaq.

Enhancements/Fixes:
 - Adds support for the following controllers:
    Intel 8255x Based Ethernet Controller 
    Compaq Netelligent 10/100 Embedded UTP Controller
    Compaq NetFlex-3 10/100 Embedded UTP Controller
 - It is no longer necessary to copy any Microsoft specific files to the 
   diskette.  The following files are now contained in the Softpaq: 
    emsbfr.exe
    hosts
    ifshlp.sys
    lmhosts
    nemm.dos
    net.exe
    net.msg
    neth.msg
    networks
    nmtsr.exe
    protman.dos
    protman.exe
    services
    tcpdrv.dos
    tcptsr.exe
    tcputils.ini
    tinyrfc.exe
    umb.com
 - Updates the following files:
    Detect.bat
    e100b.dos
    EL90x.dos
    Sysinv.exe
    Sysinv.ini
 - Deletes the following files:
    N100.dos
