TITLE: Remote ROM Flash Utilities for Compaq Models with a 686P2 or 686P3 Family ROM

VERSION: 3.11 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 models below with a 686P2 or 686P3 Family ROM.  It also includes the 
ROM Image.

The standard ROMPaq will not work for updating a PC remotely over a network.

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running the Setup Utility by
