such as Altiris eXpress to update or restore the v3.08 version System ROM in the Deskpro EC 
Series models with a 686J1 ROM.

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

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:

- Adds support for the WfM2.0 specification.
