	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.

	Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 diskette upon insertion.

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

-	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).
