Compaq Fibre Channel Array Controllers SCSI Class Driver(CPQFCAC.SYS) 
-	Fixed a problem with the CPQFCAC.INF file not recognizing 
	the correct Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion.

Compaq Fibre Channel Filter Driver(CPQFCFTR.SYS) 
-	Fixed a problem with the CPQFCFTR.INF file not recognizing the 
	correct Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion.

Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver(CPQFCALM.SYS) 
-	Added support for virtual LUN (Logical Unit Number) capability.  
	This support allows hot adding drives to a Compaq Fibre Channel 
	Host Controller with no targets.
-	Changed version-numbering scheme of the Compaq Fibre Channel Host 
	Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver from 1.xx to 4.xx.
-	Fixed problem with World Wide ID of non-Compaq devices appearing 
	as being byte swapped in Compaq Insight Manager and other applications 
	that gather information from driver.
-	Improved the detection of lost login frames.
-	Fixed a bug that would prevent a Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controller 
	from receiving a fibre channel loop address. 
-	Fixed a problem with the CPQFCALM.INF file not recognizing the correct 
	Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion.

Compaq 4/8-GB SLR Tape Driver(TANDQIC.SYS) 
-	Removed the Compaq 4/8-GB SLR Tape Driver files from the Compaq SSD 
	for Windows NT 4.0 release.  These files are available from the Compaq 
	Web site at www.compaq.com as SoftPaq number 5982.

Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver(CPQRIB.SYS) 
	Updated the Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver version from 1.50 to 
	1.51.  Version 1.51 corrects an issue where the previous version of 
	the Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver would not start on a 
	multiprocessor Compaq ProLiant 3000 or 5500 configured as follows: 
	Compaq Remote Insight Board/EISA and system ROM dated later than 3/98.

Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver(RIBWAN.SYS) 
-	Updated the RIBWAN.INF file to re-enable the Compaq Remote Insight 
	Board/PCI Driver, along with the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN 
	Driver, after it is installed and removed using Compaq Server Support 
	Setup for Microsoft Windows NT then reinstalled through the Windows 
	NT Control Panel using the RIBWAN.INF file.
-	Fixed a Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN routing issue.  In the 
	Compaq Remote Insight Board User Guide, you are asked to perform 
	the "route add A B" command, where A and B are IP addresses.  In 
	previous Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 versions, the packets destined 
	for target A are not routed through the device properly if B is an IP 
	address on one of the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN endpoints.  
	Beginning in Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 Version 2.12A, the packets 
	destined for IP address A are properly routed through IP address B, 
	which is the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN device.

Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0(SETUP.EXE)
-	Added support to upgrade/downgrade your HAL if Microsoft Service Pack 4 
	is installed on your system.
-	Modified Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to 
	disallow installation of the Compaq SCSI Controller Driver, the Compaq 
	SMART/SMART-2 Array Controller Driver, or the Compaq Fibre Channel Host 
	Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver if it detects that you have removed the 
	driver through the Windows NT Control Panel.  Once the driver has been 
	uninstalled from the Windows NT Control Panel, you must reboot the system 
	or reinstall the driver through the Windows NT Control Panel.
-	Added a new popup, indicating the supported version of the Compaq Array 
	Configuration Utility that is supported in this Compaq SSD for Windows NT 
	4.0 release, which will appear after the option to install the utility 
	has been selected.
-	Added an enhancement to indicate when you should update the Compaq Array 
	Configuration Utility on your system.
-	Removed the capability for Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft 
	Windows NT 4.0 Version 2.12A (or later) to operate on Compaq Professional 
	Workstation products.
-	Added support for the Compaq NC3161 Fast Ethernet NIC.
-	Modified Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to prompt 
	you to update the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver after installing 
	RAS to ensure that a registry setting created by the RAS install has the 
	correct value for this driver. If this driver is not updated after a RAS 
	install is performed, the registry value will be incorrect, disabling the 
	"route add A B" command functionality that was fixed in this release 
	(see the "Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver(RIBWAN.SYS)" entry 
	in this section).

Compaq SCSI Controller Driver(CPQ32FS2.SYS) 
-	Updated the Compaq SCSI Controller Driver version from 3.19 to 3.21.
-	Added support to the Compaq SCSI Controller Driver for the following 
	new products: 
		Compaq Prosignia 720 6/350
		Compaq Prosignia 720 6/400
		Compaq 64-Bit Dual Channel Wide-Ultra2 SCSI Controller.
-	Fixed a problem with the FASTSCSI.INF file not recognizing the correct 
	Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion.
-	Changed Compaq Pseudo Device type from UNSUPPORTED to UNKNOWN.
-	Fixed a performance degradation problem observed on fast disk drives 
	upon removal and reinsertion.
-	Changed the driver name in the file properties from ?Compaq 32-Bit 
	SCSI-2 Controllers? to ?Compaq SCSI Controllers.?

Compaq SMART/SMART-2 Array Controller Driver(CPQARRAY.SYS) 
-	Fixed a problem with the CPQARRAY.INF file not recognizing the correct 
	Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion.

Compaq System Management Driver(SYSMGMT.SYS)
-	Updated the Compaq System Management Driver version from 3.12.01 
	to 3.15.01.  Version 3.15.01 of the Compaq System Management Driver 
	corrects the loss of system fan, thermal, power supply, and ECC 
	monitoring that Version 3.12.01 causes on the following systems: 
		Compaq ProLiant 800 6/350
		Compaq ProLiant 1600 (Models 6/350, 6/400, and 6/450-1)
		Compaq ProLiant 1600R (Models 6/400 and 6/450-1)  
-	Added support to the Compaq System Management Driver for the following 
	new Compaq servers: 
		Compaq Prosignia 720 6/350 
		Compaq Prosignia 720 6/400.
-	Removed support for all models of the Compaq Professional Workstation.  
	Full support for the Compaq Professional Workstation series is now 
	available on Compaq Workstation Support Software for Microsoft Windows 
	NT 4.0 Version 2.00 (or later).
-	Corrected the display of erroneous data in the Compaq Insight Manager 
	console.  This invalid data appeared when a 400-Watt Hot Plug Redundant 
	Power Supply Upgrade Kit was installed on the following systems: 
		Compaq ProLiant 1600 6/350-1 
		Compaq ProLiant 1600 6/400-1	
		Compaq ProLiant 1600R 6/400-1.
