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

The CPQFlash utility is used to locally flash the System ROM on PCs through a 
Windows environment.

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.  It is recommended to create a directory called CPQFlash and copy 
the SoftPaq to that directory.  

2.  Refer to the CPQFlash utility documentation (CPQFlash.txt) for further 
instructions on using the CPQFlash utility to flash the System ROM on your PC.
