TITLE: Remote ROM Flash Utilities for Evo Workstation W6000 Models (686P8 ROM) VERSION: 1.26 Rev A DESCRIPTION: This SoftPaq creates a set of utility files that can be used with a remote configuration tool such as Altiris eXpress to update or restore the System ROM in the Compaq Evo Workstation W6000 Models with a 686P8 Family ROM. It also includes the ROM Image. The standard ROMPaq will not work for updating a PC remotely over a network.
