TITLE: ROM Image for Evo D500, D300, and W4000 (686Y2 ROM) Remote ROM Flash

VERSION: 2.06 Rev A
DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates files that contain a binary image for the System ROM for
the Compaq models with a 686Y2 Family ROM.

This SoftPaq is used to flash the System ROM on target PCs on a network, and it
requires Compaq System Software Manager (SSM) or Remote Management Setup.

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running the Setup Utility by
pressing F10 on the target computer during system power on of the computer,
and viewing File/System Information.  This information can be saved into a text 
file by selecting File/Save to Diskette.

If you use Compaq System Software Manager (SSM) to deploy SoftPaqs within your
organization, you must upgrade to SSM version 1.50 (SP17447), which supports
all new and existing SoftPaq formats.  For information on SSM, check

ENHANCEMENTS: 
  - Enhances display of network adapters in F10 Setup to include the vendor name.
  - When restoring F10 settings from diskette, the BIOS now has the user confirm the 
    “save changes and exit” before saving device security settings.
  - Adds an option to F10 Setup to allow the integrated audio to be enabled even if a 
    PCI audio card is present. Previous BIOS versions disabled the integrated audio 
    automatically, without an option to enable it again, if a PCI audio card was detected
    in order to prevent resource conflicts between the PCI and integrated audio devices.
  - Enhances the F10 Setup “Save to Diskette” and “Restore from Diskette” features to 
    prevent bad diskettes from causing a system lock-up.
  - Adds a type-11 record to the SMBIOS tables for use by service.
  - Adds support for certain Samsung USB keyboards.
  - Adds support for Compaq iPaq Home Phone Network Adapter (HPNA).
  - Adds support for Northwood Pentium 4 processors (specifically B0 stepping)
  - Adds support for core chipset MCH B0.
  - Adds support for new DDR platforms. 

FIXES:
 - Corrects the reporting of L1 and L2 cache type in the SMBIOS structure (information only).
 - Corrects the reporting of the L1 cache size in F10 Setup, from 8KB to 20KB to reflect 
   the full L1 cache size in the Pentium 4 (information only).
 - Corrects the saving of the boot order information when saving settings from F10 setup to 
   diskette when a USB boot device is set as “disabled” in the boot order. The previous BIOS 
   version would save an invalid string in the settings file under this condition.
 - Makes a change to BIOS to correctly report the memory map of the EBDA in all cases.
 - Corrects the PCI resource settings when installing two SCSI devices of type Adaptec Dual 
   Channel Ultra160 SCSI Card PCI Model AHA-39160 and Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 Ultra160 
   64-bit PCI.
