DESCRIPTION:  Creates the Support Software for Novell Products Diskettes (NSSD). 
The NSSD diskettes contain NetWare and intraNetWare drivers, NetWare Loadable 
Modules (NLMs), and support information to optimize the performance of NetWare and 
intraNetWare on Compaq servers. This software enhances the performance of Compaq 
options such as Compaq Drive Array controllers, Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 controllers, 
and Compaq CD-ROM drives.

Enhancements/Fixes:  

 - CPQNF3.LAN v2.35 has added a new keyword for forcing the adapter
   to operate at 100 Mbps in Half Duplex mode.  To enable this mode,
   place the keyword 100HD on the LOAD command line.

 - CPQNF3.LAN v2.35 now disables the Auto-Negotiation process when
   the speed and duplex mode is forced by using the 10HD, 10FD, 100FD
   or 100HD keywords.  This now makes it mandatory to have both sides
   of the network link (NIC and Switch) specifically configured for the
   operating mode you choose.  Some network switches are not
   interoperable with the auto-negotiation standard and would sometimes
   have difficulty establishing links when using previous versions of
   this driver.

 - CPQHLTH.NLM v4.00 adds support for the following Compaq ProLiant
   servers:
     
     - Compaq ProLiant 800 6/350-1
     - Compaq ProLiant 1600 6/350-1
     - Compaq ProLiant 1600 6/400-1
     - Compaq ProLiant 1600R 6/400-1

 - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.12 corrects the display of the logical drive
   rebuild/expand status when the chassis name on a Fibre Channel
   controller is more than 18 characters long.

 - CPQSBD.NLM v2.01 has been updated to correct the "Module did not
   release X resources" message after adding some PCI adapters.

 - CPQFC.HAM v1.01 has been updated to disallow sharing interrupts
   between the Fibre Channel host adapter and the SMART-2, or other,
   primary controller(s).

 - CPQS710.DSK v2.14 corrects a speed negotiation issue for the
   CPQSCD.DSK or CPQSTAPE.DSK drivers.

 - CPQSCSI.HAM v1.20 adds support for faulting CD-ROM devices.

 - CPQSMP.PSM v2.21 has been updated to prevent lost hardware
   interrupts on systems with Intel Pentium-II processors.

HOW TO USE:

 1. Obtain five (5) formatted 1.44-MB diskettes.

 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 diskettes in a drive to create the diskettes.

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

 5. For installation instructions, refer to INSTALL.RDM on diskette 2.
