DESCRIPTION:  This SoftPaq unpacks the files needed to install 
the video ROM for certain Deskpro EP/EN Series models that use a 
Matrox Millennium G100 Graphics Controller.  This is an AGP (Accelerated 
Graphics Port) controller.
Optionally allows an installation diskette to be created.  

IMPORTANT:  The video ROM can only be installed from DOS Mode.  
            It cannot be installed from a DOS session.

This is the same version of the video ROM originally included in 
the affected Deskpro EP/EN Series models.  It is not an upgrade.  It 
is offered here as a convenience for customers who may need to 
restore the video ROM for any reason.

HOW TO USE:

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

2. From the download directory, execute the SoftPaq.  When executed 
with no parameters, files are extracted into the current directory.
To extract the files into a different directory, specify the complete 
path of the directory as a parameter:

     SPxxxx <path> 

Enter "Y" to confirm and files are unpacked into a subdirectory named 
Disk_01 that is created under the download directory or the directory 
specified. 

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

4. The video ROM may be installed directly from the files on the hard 
drive or an optional installation diskette can be created.  
To create an installation diskette, run MAKEDISK.BAT.

To install the video ROM, restart the computer in DOS Mode and 
run BIOS-5.BAT. 

IMPORTANT:  This must be run from DOS Mode (not a DOS session). 

To install from the hard drive, enter:   <path>\disk_01\BIOS-5.BAT
   where <path> is the drive and directory chosen in step 2

To install from the optional installation diskette, enter:
    A:\BIOS-5.BAT
   
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

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