  auto-negotiation enabled Network Interface Controllers.
- Added support to resolve NetFlex-3 Controller instances resulting from 
  missing Network Interface Controllers.
- Added support for the ProLiant 6500 and PCI adapters.
- Updated the Graphical User Interface.
- Added new icons.

Compaq Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
- HALMPS.DLL (v302.01) and HALUP.DLL (v302.01)
  - Added fixes from Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 and Hotfix 
    62660.
  - Added support for the /PCILOCK boot.ini option.
- HALMPS.DLL (v302.01) only
  - Added support for use of the high-resolution 8254 counter as a 
    profiling timer and the /USE8254 boot.ini option.
  - Added a new boot.ini option-/USETSC.  

Compaq System Management Driver
- Added support for Compaq ProLiant 6500 Health features.
- Fixed a driver issue for the ProLiant 6000 redundant fans which 
  requires the use of SSD 1.23 A or SSD 2.00 A.  The driver was not 
  reporting fan redundancy to the Insight Agents, though it was reporting 
  correctly to the Event Viewer and the Integrated Management Display.

ELSA Gloria-L Video Driver
- Added support for the Compaq Professional Workstation 8000 and the 
  Compaq Professional Workstation 6000. 
- Updated the Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 third party graphics driver 
  files for the ELSA Gloria-L Video Driver.

Matrox Millennium Graphics Driver for NT 3.51
- Added Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Display Driver support to the updated 
  version (2.31) of Matrox Millennium/Millennium II display adapters so 
  that the adapters will provide support for the Compaq Professional 
  Workstation 8000 and the Compaq Professional Workstation 6000. 

Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 Controller
- Fixed the Moselle/P6 installation problem for the Compaq Ultra Wide 
  controller where it does not run at 20 MTS if the EISA configuration has 
  never been run.
- Notified the port driver of aborted pending irp's on a SCSI bus reset 
  in the CPQFWS2E.SYS (a Windows NT file) and CPQ32FS2.SYS.  This 
  notification prevents irp?s from timing out.

SMART-2DH Controller
- Added new hardware support for the SMART-2DH Controller.
