TITLE: ROM Image for Evo Workstation W6000 (686P8 ROM) Remote ROM Flash

VERSION: 1.19 Rev A
DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates files that contain a binary image for the System ROM for
the Compaq models with a 686P8 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

and viewing File/System Information.  This information can be saved into a text 
file by selecting File/Save to Diskette.
