The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running F10 Setup. A unique feature of the ROM is one that allows the user to select the language used in F10 Setup. The user may choose between Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish. Please note however that the user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup not in the operating system. This ROM version is compatible for use with Windows 2000. Enhancements/Fixes: - Features new patches for the Pentium II and Pentium III processors. - Features a new F10-Setup option "WOL Boot Source" under "Advanced -> Power-On Self Test". This allows users to automatically boot to a remote server when the system recieves a "magic packet" wakeup signal. - Features a three second improvement in POST time. - Adds the ability for new PCI devices with large option ROM's to co-exist without conflict. - Corrects a condition with the Adaptec AHA-3960D SCSI controller card that was causing the system to hang at startup. - Corrects a condition with the Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard that was causing the F11 and F12 keys to not work.
