- Features new microcode patch for Pentium II processors.
- Corrects a condition where the system may not recognize USB hubs or high speed USB keyboards.
- Corrects a condition that caused the system BIOS to not recognize some USB devices connected 
  through a Compaq V1000 USB hub.
- Corrects a slow boot condition with newer CD-ROM drives that have drive shadowing, a new 
  ATAPI specification.  This caused longer than normal boot times.
- Corrects a condition with video option ROM's greater than 32KB that exist with other PCI 
  option ROM's in the system.  The condition caused a video hang with certain video cards.
- Corrects a condition with the IBM X.25 card when present with a PCI card featuring an option
  ROM.  This resulted in an error from the card's diagnostic program.
