DESCRIPTION:  Creates cabinet files that contain a binary image for the 08/03/99
version System ROM and Language Module options for Deskpro EN Series models 
with a 686T3 Family ROM.  The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running 
F10 Setup.  

A unique feature of the ROM is one that allows the user to select the language used in
F10 Setup.  The user may choose between Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, 
Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish.  Please note however that 
the user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup not in the operating system.

This ROM version is compatible for use with Windows 2000.

Enhancements/Fixes:

- Features new patches for the Pentium II and Pentium III processors.
- Features a new F10-Setup option "WOL Boot Source" under "Advanced -> Power-On Self Test".
  This allows users to automatically boot to a remote server when the system recieves a
  "magic packet" wakeup signal.
- Features a three second improvement in POST time.
- Adds the ability for new PCI devices with large option ROM's to co-exist without conflict.
- Corrects a condition with the Adaptec AHA-3960D SCSI controller card that was causing the 
  system to hang at startup.
- Corrects a condition with the Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard that was causing the F11 
  and F12 keys to not work.


HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.
The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename 
based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.

documentation for instructions on creating a Remote ROM Flash job to flash the ROM 
on target PCs across the network.
