1. INTRODUCTION

The device drivers and utilities on this diskette enable you to
take advantage of specific capabilities offered on COMPAQ products 
when using the October Windows NT Beta or SDK release available 
from Microsoft.  These drivers are being provided for your evaluation
of Microsoft Windows NT Beta on COMPAQ computers only.

Following is a list of COMPAQ devices that will be supported by COMPAQ
NT SSD releases and/or Microsoft Windows NT releases.

Items under the "COMPAQ NT SSD" column currently have to be installed
from the COMPAQ NT SSD diskette if they are available.

Items under the "MS Windows NT" column are either COMPAQ-developed
drivers that have been confirmed by Microsoft to be included in their
releases or they are Microsoft-developed device drivers to be included
in their releases.

included with Microsoft releases and will have to be installed from
the COMPAQ NT SSD.
