DESCRIPTION:  Creates a cabinet file that contains a binary image for the 
07/09/99 System ROM in the Professional Workstation AP200.  The CAB 
file is used by Remote Management Setup or System Software Manager (SSM) to 
flash the System ROM on target Workstations on a network.

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 new F10-Setup option "AGP Aperture Size".  This allows the user to select 64MB 
  (default), 128MB, and 256MB memory ranges for video cards that may require this option.
- Adds the ability for new PCI devices with large option ROM's to co-exist without conflict.
- Added a warning at POST if a Coppermine processor is installed into a non-supporting system.
- Added support for the Synergy II AGP video card.
- Added support for the Venus PCI audio card.
- 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.
- 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.
- Adds support for System Software Manager (SSM).
