DESCRIPTION:  
 
       
This SoftPaq contains the BIOS upgrade for the 64-Bit/66-MHz 
Single Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter P/N 154457-B21. This 
BIOS upgrade is required if this adapter is used in a Compaq 
server to support Compaq DRTape. 


NOTE:
The DRTape feature is supported only on the following systems
with the corresponding listed BIOS Code Levels, and the date
of the BIOS code must be the same date or newer than the date
listed:
