Compaq Netelligent/NetFlex-3 Controllers
- Added support for the Compaq Professional Workstation 5100.
- Updated driver to support the Netelligent 10 T/2 PCI UTP/Coax Controller  
   (a 10Base-T, 10Base-2 combination controller, with an RJ45 and BNC connector).

Compaq Professional Workstation 5100
- Added Remote Wakeup capability, allowing a system administrator to power-up a 
  client computer from a remote console.

Compaq SCSI Controllers
- Changed the return status for aborting, pending SCSI Request Blocks upon 
  reception of a SCSI Bus Reset to SRB_STATUS_BUS_RESET.

Compaq System Management Driver

  Workstation 5100 and the Compaq ProLiant 7000.
- Added hot-replace fans and redundant VRMs for the Compaq ProLiant 7000.
- Added support for capturing blue screen events via IRC (Integrated Remote Console).  
  This feature requires version 1.4 or later of the IRC firmware.  This firmware is 
  part of the system ROM; all systems that support IRC will receive this firmware as 
  part of their next maintenance ROM release.  Enable the Remote Console functions 
  for IRC through the Compaq System Configuration Utility to view the firmware version 
  number.

Multimedia Fire GL 4000 Video Accelerator
- Added Multimedia Fire GL 4000 Video Accelerator support for the Compaq 
  Professional Workstation 5100, 6000, and 8000.  
  The Multimedia Fire GL 4000 Video Accelerator is comprised of a new display 
  controller and associated drivers.

Millennium/Millennium II Video Driver
- Made a modification to the miniport driver (MGAX64.SYS) to handle GCLK for 12 and 
  16 MB Millennium II boards.
- Set minimum off-screen requirements to 22 Kbytes instead of 47.
