DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates a ROMPaq firmware diskette that can be used to locally 
restore or upgrade the System ROM in the Deskpro Workstation AP240, Deskpro 
Workstation AP250, Deskpro EN Series, and Deskpro EN Series SFF with a 686J2 
Family ROM.  A backup of the current System ROM will be copied onto the ROMPaq 
diskette during the flash process.

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.


ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:
- Corrected a problem which intermittently caused the system to lock when Matrox 
  video graphics cards were installed in the machine and a power management 
  event ocurred while running Windows NT 4.0.  Correction allows monitor to time 
  out but Matrox graphics cards will not be power managed.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette and place it in your A: drive.

2.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that 
directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with a filename based 
on the SoftPaq Number above.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the 
on-screen instructions to build the ROMPaq diskette.

4.  After the diskette has been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file downloaded 
in step 2.

5.  Place the newly created diskette in the A: drive of the computer to be upgraded 
or restored and cycle system power to boot from the ROMPaq diskette.

6.  Follow the on-screen instructions to select the v2.04 Compaq System ROM and 
flash the firmware.
