DESCRIPTION:  This SoftPaq creates a bootable diskette that is used in Presario desktop 
models identified above in PRODUCTS AFFECTED to upgrade the firmware for the Phillips 
CDRW drive, model CDD-4801 (HW Rev 03), to Revision C2.0. 

Enhancements/Fixes:

 - Improves performance of the CDRW drive by allowing a recording speed of 8-speed.
   The previous version (1.3) would only record on 2-speed. 

 - Implements a Dynamic Media Table. A self-learning algorithm has been added 
   that allows the drive to check new media by itself and add them to its
   Dynamic Media Table.

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq into a temporary directory on your local drive.

2. Put a blank formatted diskette in the A: drive.

3. Execute the downloaded executable file (SP16782.EXE).

4. Follow the instructions on the screen. It will extract the files onto 
   the diskette as well as into the current directory, and will also make 
   the diskette bootable.

5. With the diskette still in Drive A, restart the computer, allowing it to boot 
   from the diskette. The CDRW firmware will be updated automatically.

6. After the update is completed, remove the diskette, and restart the system again.

7. The temporary directory from step 1 may be deleted.
