DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks the files needed to install the video ROM for 
the ATI Rage Pro Turbo 2x Graphics Controller used in certain models of the 
Deskpro EN, EP, and SB Series (see NOTE above).  Optionally allows an 
installation diskette to be created.  The video ROM can only be updated 
from DOS Mode.  It cannot be updated from a DOS session.

This is the same version of this driver that was originally included on the 
Deskpro EN Series models mentioned above.  It is not an update.  It is offered 
here as a convenience to customers who may need to restore the driver to their 
computer for any reason.

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a temporary, empty directory on your 
hard drive.  The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable 
with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. From the download directory, execute the SoftPaq.  When executed 
with no parameters, files are extracted into the current directory.
To extract the files into a different directory, specify the complete 
path of the directory as a parameter:

     SPxxxx <path> 

Enter "Y" to confirm and files are unpacked into a subdirectory named 
Disk_01 that is created under the download directory or the directory 
specified.  

3. After the files have been created, you may delete the  
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. The video ROM may be installed directly from the files on the hard 
drive or an installation diskette can be created.  
To create an installation diskette, run MAKEDISK.BAT.

To install the video ROM, restart the computer in DOS Mode and 
run FLASH.EXE. 

IMPORTANT:  This must be run from DOS Mode (not a DOS session). 

To install from the hard drive, enter:

   <path>\disk_01\flash gbcpq023.080

   where <path> is the drive and directory chosen in step 2

To install from the optional installation diskette, enter:

    A:\flash gbcpq023.080
    
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
