DESCRIPTION:  This creates a ROMPaq firmware diskette that can be used to restore the 
System ROM in Deskpro EP/SB Series models with a 686T2 Family ROM.  

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running F10 Setup.  This is the 
same System ROM version that was originally included on the affected models.  It is not 
an upgrade.  It is made available here as a convenience for users who may need to 
restore it to their computer for any reason.

This ROM includes a ROM-based F10 Setup.  A Language Module option allows the user to 
select the language used in F10 Setup: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, 
Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish.  

NOTE:  The user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup, not in the operating system.

HOW TO USE:

1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette.

4. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2.

5. Keeping the newly created diskette in the A: drive, cycle 
system power to boot from the ROMPaq diskette.

Compaq System ROM or the Language Module option and flash the firmware.
