SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: 5.0       

SUPERSEDES: SP15347

DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates a set of utility files that can be used with a remote 
configuration tool such as Altiris eXpress to update or restore the System ROM 
in the Compaq Deskpro EN, Deskpro EN (SFF), and Deskpro EN (SFF-v) Series with 
a 686P2/686P3 Family ROM.  It also includes the ROM Image.

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

The ROM Family, ROM date, and processor information 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.

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:
- New Intel microcode patch for Pentium III, model 683, stepping B0
- New Intel microcode patch for Pentium III, model 68A, stepping D0
- Changed the NIC's Revision I.D. back to old I.D. to prevent older NIC driver 
  from having problem with newer I.D. number.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.  The file downloaded is 
a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2.  Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.  Entering 
"Y" confirms the unpacking of several files.

3.  After the files have been created, you may delete the self-extracting file 
downloaded in step 1.

4.  Refer to the files README.TXT and REPSET.TXT for further information about the 
utility programs.
