SPEED.SYS
                         INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION:

   This patch corrects a problem with mouse movement in Windows 3.0, 
   Enhanced Mode.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

   The reported problem only occurs on the Compaq Deskpro 
   386s/16, with BIOS ROM release 386F_P3, dated 3/27/90.

WHO SHOULD USE:

   The mouse cursor moves very slowly when a floppy disk drive is being 
   accessed from Window's File Manager.  This symptom occurs if the DP386s 
   is set for Mode Speed = Auto; it works properly with Mode Speed = High.  
   This problem is caused by an erroneous timer value in BIOS ROM, which 
   is used by the Mode Speed Auto routine.

   SPEED.SYS alters the BIOS Shadow RAM area to insert the correct timer 
   value for Mode Speed Auto.

HOW TO USE:

   1.  Copy the program SPEED.SYS to your system diskette or fixed disk.

   2.  Using an editor, add a line to your CONFIG.SYS file to execute the 
       command at system boot.  The syntax of the line addition is:

             DEVICE=[d:][path]SPEED.SYS

       Refer to your MS-DOS Reference Guide for more detailed  
       instructions. 

   3.  When the package is successfully installed, the following message 
       displays:

             SPEED.SYS, executed
         Copyright (c) 1990  COMPAQ COMPUTER CORPORATION.

       If the package is not successfully installed, an error message 
       will be generated.

COMMENTS:

   1.  SPEED.SYS terminates immediately after driver initialization, and  
       does not remain memory resident.
