System ROM in the iPAQ Series models with a 686J5 Family ROM. 

The standard ROMPaq will not work for updating a PC remotely over a network.

This ROM version is recommended for use with Windows 2000.

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, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish.  Please note however, that 
the user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup, not in the operating system.

Enhancements/Fixes:
	
- Added support for Intel Pentium III processor B0 stepping.
- Corrects a condition that was intermittently causing USB keyboards to generate a 
  "304 keyboard error" at POST.
- Adds support for the WfM2.0 specification.
