DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates files that contain a binary image for the System ROM for 
the Compaq Deskpro iPaq and iPaq Legacy Free Series (815e) with a 686P7 Family 
ROM.  

This SoftPaq is used to flash the System ROM on target PCs on a network, and it 
requires 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.

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:
 - Revised Legacy power management.
 - Corrected routine that adjusts the floppy drive numbers to support booting from 
   internal/USB/Multibay floppy drives.
 - Corrected a long delay when coming out of S3 when a USB floppy drive is 
   attached.

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.  Refer to the remote utility documentation for instructions on creating a 
Remote ROM Flash job to flash the System ROM on target PCs on the network.

WARNING:  DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR ATTEMPT TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER DURING THE
