DESCRIPTION:  This creates a ROMPaq firmware diskette that can be used to 
restore or upgrade the System ROM to the 08/05/99 version in the DeskPro Workstation AP240 
and Deskpro EN Series models mentioned above, when they have a 686T3 Family ROM.  
The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running F10 Setup.  

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 Beta.

Enhancements/Fixes:

- Corrects a condition in F10 Setup that would not allow choosing the primary
  VGA display card if two VGA cards were installed in the system.
- Corrects a condition where the num-lock key was not being turned on at POST after being 
  enabled in F10 Setup.
 

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 Spxxxx file 
to unpack the ROM image files.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette.

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

5. Keeping the newly created diskette in the A: drive, cycle 
system power to boot from the ROMPaq diskette.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the 08/05/99 
Compaq System ROM or the Language Module option and flash the firmware.
