	=================================
	Do not issue password prompt if floppy disk is inserted in
	drive, floppy boot is turned off, and network server mode

	ROM E12  ProLiant 1500 (05/12/97)
	==================================
	- Do not issue password prompt if floppy disk is inserted in
	  drive, floppy boot is turned off, and network server mode
	  is enabled.
	- Force modem to standard assignments - COM1-IRQ4 or COM2-IRQ3.
	  This allows System Configuration Utility "pager test" to work.

	  password.
	  We were write-protecting the last 4 pages.  This allows 
	  changing other NVRAM variables that occur in the four page area.
	- Modified S.M.A.R.T. support with 6-byte MODE SENSE commands
	  that are required by some SCSI drives instead of the 10-byte
	  commands.
	- Comprehend a part change on the Compaq Wide Ultra-SCSI
	  Controller board and correctly detect and enable it as
	  a Compaq board.
