DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks the files needed to install the Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 
Controllers Driver for Windows NT 4.0.  

Enhancements/Fixes:
 - Workaround for the Compaq DLT 35/70 issue:
   Seagate's BackupExec may stop during a backup, resetting the SCSI bus. 
   This may happen with Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 when a previous 
   version of the Compaq SCSI Controller driver, CPQ32FS2.SYS, is installed.  
   The issue presents itself approximately 5% of the time or less and is 
   normally associated with large files.  When it occurs, the Compaq 
   DLT 35/70 drive firmware does not properly respond to requests from the 
   host.  It only fails during the verification process.

subsystems and features of Compaq Servers and Professional Workstations:

HOW TO USE:

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

2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files.
The number of files to be created and total file size is displayed.
You will be given the chance to specify the target directory for 
the files (such as A:\ to unpack to diskette), or default to the 
download directory.
The following files will be unpacked:
       README.TXT
       FASTSCSI.INF
       CPQ32FS2.SYS

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

4. To install, refer to README.TXT.  You can modify those instructions 
to install from the download directory if you did not create a diskette.

5. After a successful installation, you may delete the files unpacked 
in step 2 if you wish.
