Family ROM.  

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running F10 Setup.  

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.

Enhancements/Fixes:

 - Fixes a problem where the system incorrectly prompted for a power-on 
   password when a diskette was in the drive at the time of a Remote Wakeup by 
   a Magic Packet (Wake-On-LAN technology).

 - Fixes a problem where installing an Iomega Jazz drive disabled the diskette
   drive until the computer was powered off and back on.
 
 - Fixes a problem where a Windows NT shutdown would not automatically turn
   the computer off.

 - This ROM is recommended for use with Microsoft Windows 98.
