DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates files that contain a binary image for the System ROM for 
the Compaq Deskpro EN, Deskpro EN(SFF) and Deskpro EN(SFF-v) Series with a 
686P2 Family ROM.  

This SoftPaq is used to flash the System ROM on target PCs on a network, and it 
requires Compaq System Software Manager (SSM) or Remote Management Setup.

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running the Setup Utility by 
pressing F10 on the target computer during system power on of the computer, and 
viewing File/System Information.  This information can be saved into a text 
file by selecting File/Save to Diskette.

 - New Intel microcode patch for Pentium III, model 683, stepping B0.
 - New Intel microcode patch for Pentium III, model 68A, stepping D0.

a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.
