DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates files that contain the CPQFlash utility and a binary image 
of the System ROM for the Compaq Evo D500, D300, and W4000 models with a 686Y2 
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:
 - This is the same System ROM version that was originally included on the above 
   models.  It is not an upgrade.  It is made available here as a convenience 
   for users who may need to restore it to their computer for any reason.

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.

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