DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks the files needed to install Bus Master IDE Support for
the Deskpro models listed above.  This support software enables the Bus Master  
IDE Disk controller to move data directly between IDE devices and main memory,  
relieving the CPU and improving system performance in multitasking environments.  

Enhancements/Fixes:
- Enables DMA for ATAPI CD-ROM devices in the Deskpro EP/SB Series.
- Updates the preinstall image with a CPQKEYS Win32 utility, which adds the 
  registry entries to enable DMA for all Compaq CD-ROM devices that support DMA.

HOW TO USE:

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

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
Entering "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory 
folder in the download directory.  All files are unpacked into this 
newly created directory.

To create the optional installation diskette, run MAKEDISK.BAT and
follow on-screen instructions.

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

4. To install, run SETUP.EXE.  For example, enter:

   {path}\NTIDE\disk1\setup.exe

      where {path} is the drive and directory chosen in step 1

                      - or -

   a:\setup.exe

      if using the optional installation diskettes 

   Follow the on-screen instructions.

5. After the installation is completed, you may delete the directory
