    based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file.  You will be prompted to place
    the formatted 1.44 MB diskette into a diskette drive to create the ROMPaq diskette.

4.  After the diskette is created, you may delete the downloaded file if you wish.

5.  Shutdown and turn off the computer.  Wait 15 seconds.  Place the ROMPaq diskette into
    drive A: and turn on the power, allowing the computer to boot from the diskette.

6.  The ROMPaq diskette will automatically update the System ROM and notify you when the 
    update is finished.

    CAUTION:  DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS

7.  When the ROM update is finished, you will need to turn the computer off and back on for 
    the changes to be in effect.  Remove the ROMPaq diskette from the computer.  Turn the
    computer's power switch OFF, wait 15 seconds, then turn the switch ON again.
