    ROM corruption seen when run on older CP-series
    systems (Churchill - Habana).

    for the old systems. Return to code from ver
    3.4 for pre-Kahuna systems only.

The following updates were made to the A17
diskette to create the X20 diskette:

1.  Updated EE-CPA.EXE to ver 3.5 to support Avo/Akebono.
    EE_CPA.EXE is the EE-ERASE program used by all
    Latitude C-series and shared Inspiron systems
    with the exception of Mojave (Latitude CP).
    All other systems are unaffected by this file.

2.  Added FDD-RCL.EXE - launched from AUTOEXEC.BAT
    after SVCTAG.EXE is complete. FDD-RCL recalibrates
    the floppy drive controller. This has the effect
    of moving the FDD head to track 0 in preperation
    for transport.

3.  Updated SVCTAG.EXE to version 2.9 to address
    problems reading 2-byte system IDs on Dell-BIOS
    systems. New method to find system ID follows:
    1. If SMBIOS is present, get ID from type D0h
       SMBIOS table, if it exists.
    2. If type D0h type table does not exist, get
       ID from type 0Bh table.
    3. If SMBIOS is not present, get ID from XBIOS.

4.  Added ASSET200.EXE (asset.exe ver 2.00) for
    the Latitude XP family. ASSET.COM VER 2.02
    doesn't program the SVCTAG on those systems.
    SVCTAG.EXE ver 2.9 will launch ASSET200.EXE
    for the XP systems (based on system ID).

The following updates were made to the A13
diskette to create the A14 diskette:

1.  Updated SVCTAG.EXE to ver 2.6:
    - Fixes PTR #23498 - EE-ERASE disables onboard
      NIC. Fix this by spawning NICSET -e -l -r after
      ee-erase if system ID matches Dorado or Athens.

    - Unconditionally erase the EEPROM for Dorado &
      Athens, even if no SVCTAG exists on the system.
      This ensures the onboard NIC is not locked and
      NICSET is allowed to enable it.

    - Fixes PSE #21340 - Precision M40 & M50 are
      reported as not supported. Fix this by adding
      "Precision " to the list of support name
      strings.

2.  Added NICSET.EXE ver 1.0 to disk for PTR #23498.

3.  Updated README.TXT with supported systems and
    explanation of NICSET.
