Enhancements/Fixes:

For details, refer to NTREADME.HLP in the created support files.

   This release of the Compaq Support Software for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51, 
   Version 1.27 A, primarily supports the following updated drivers: Compaq 
   System Management Driver, Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver, and Compaq 
   NetFlex-3 Controller. 


Compaq MP HAL (HALSP.DLL) 
   Fixed a problem with the year 2000 if the OS is running during transition.

Compaq NetFlex-3 Controller
   Updated the Compaq NetFlex-3 driver to disable autonegotiation in the 
   Physical Layer (PHY) when both speed and duplex are set, thus enhancing 
   network connections.

Compaq Support Software Setup Utility
   Updated the Setup application to display the new SSD version number.

Compaq System Management Driver
   Updated the System Management driver version number from 2.55.01 to 2.57.01.

   Corrected a problem with correctable memory error messages in the Windows NT
   Event Viewer.

   Corrected a problem with marking entries in the Critical Error Log as 
   "corrected" via Compaq Insight Manager.

   Corrected a problem on Compaq Professional Workstations configured with the 
   Compaq System Management driver in which applications that cause a floating 
   point exception could cause the Workstation to hang.  A ROM upgrade is
   required to fully correct the problem; upgrade the system ROM to any
   version dated 12/17/97 or later.


STB Systems MVP Workstation Graphics Controller
   Added support for the new STB Systems MVP Workstation Graphics Controller
   video display driver for Windows NT 3.51.  The Compaq Professional
   Workstations that may use this driver are indicated in the help file
   section entitled Video Support for Compaq Professional Workstations.
