Details are in NTREADME.HLP. Compaq Netelligent/NetFlex-3 Controllers - Updated driver to support the Netelligent 10 T/2 PCI UTP/Coax Controller (a 10Base-T, 10Base-2 combination controller, with an RJ45 and BNC connector). - Added support for the Compaq Professional Workstation 5100. Compaq Professional Workstation 5100 - Added Remote Wakeup capability, allowing a system administrator to power-up a client computer from a remote console. Compaq Support Software Setup Utility The new setup utility for the Compaq SSD for Windows NT uses an entirely different Graphical User Interface (GUI) than older versions of Setup. The new GUI is more visual and straightforward, while giving more flexibility of new features in terms of functionality. The new features of this interface are the following: - Remote Installation-Added the ability to install, remove, update, and configure components remotely via machine name. The new Setup 2.01 is no longer constrained to the local machine, as past Setup versions have been. - Command Line Installation-Added the ability to install, remove, update, and configure components from the command line. This option allows most of the functionality of the GUI interface, but with no output other than to a log file. This type of Setup is desired for SMS and SmartStart Configurations. Compaq System Management Driver - Added System Management Health driver support for the Compaq Professional Workstation 5100 and the Compaq ProLiant 7000. - Added hot replace fans and redundant VRMs for the Compaq ProLiant 7000. - Added support for capturing blue screen events via IRC (Integrated Remote Console). This feature requires version 1.4 or later of the IRC firmware. This firmware is part of the system ROM; all systems that support IRC will receive this firmware as part of their next maintenance ROM release. Enable the Remote Console functions for IRC through the Compaq System Configuration Utility to view the firmware version number. Diamond Multimedia Fire GL 4000 Video Accelerator - Added Diamond Multimedia Fire GL 4000 Video Accelerator support for the Compaq Professional Workstation 5000, the Compaq Professional Workstation 5100, the Compaq Professional Workstation 6000, and the Compaq Professional Workstation 8000.

ESS AudioDrive Driver - Updated Windows NT 4.0 drivers. - Changed driver file essaudio.dll to auddrive.dll. - Added config.ini file to driver set to allow OEM to control default selection of resources. - Added driver support for base I/O addresses 220h, 240h, 260h, 280h. Matrox Millennium/Millennium II Video Driver - Display driver (MGA64.DLL) - Added new product names and chip IDs for AGP boards, Mystique 220, Cyclone, and Chinook. - Restricted FastBlt to the first 2 (non-interleaved modes) or 4MB (interleaved modes) of memory. - Corrected source coordinates passed to vGetBits in DrvStretchBlt with ppdev->x/yOffset. - Added a mask for ModeType in QUERYMODESUPPORT. - Modified DrvStretchBlt so that the call is returned to GDI whenever the destination is actually in host memory. - Modified the PickPointFuncs and PickLineFuncs funtions of the MCD to return FALSE when MCD_COLOR_LOGIC_OP_ENABLE is requested. - Updated the ALLOCATETAGRAM Escape service. The ALLOCATETAGRAM Escape service does not require a FREETAGRAM call in order to re-use the allocated tag ram area, if the TagId field of the new call is the same as for the previous call. - Included the patch for preventing the 'Invalid Display Settings' message to be displayed when the refresh rate is not the expected one in this version. - Miniport driver (MGA64.SYS) - Added new product names and chip IDs for AGP boards, Mystique 220, Cyclone, and Chinook. - Defined default 60Hz modes for resolutions 1600x1024, 1600x1280, 1800x1440, 1920x1080, and 1920x1200, but these defaults will be rejected if no MGA.INF file exists. - Placed limitations on the modes, which range from 640x480 to 1600x1200, when the User.MgaInfoFile switch of the registry is set to 0. - Made the control aperture shareable when a Rainbow Runner is found. - Included the patch for preventing the 'Invalid Display Settings' message to be displayed when the refresh rate is not the expected one in this version.
