TITLE: ROM Image for Evo D300v (686P9 ROM) Remote ROM Flash

VERSION: 1.11 Rev A
DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates files that contain a binary image for the System ROM for
the Compaq Models with a 686P9 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.

If you use System Software Manager (SSM) to deploy SoftPaqs within your
organization, you must upgrade to SSM version 1.50 Rev. B (SP19480) or greater, 
which supports all new and existing SoftPaq formats.  For information on SSM,
