             WHY DOES HEWLETT-PACKARD ROLL THIS DRIVER ?
            ============================================
  Minimizing the number of the revisions of the drivers is an
  objective of Hewlett-Packard. However Hewlett-Packard may have
  to release new revisions for any one of the following reasons :
  
  ENHANCEMENTS
  ------------
  This is the case when a major new feature is available on the
  market. Good examples are Microsoft Windows 95, a new level of
  the Plug and Play standard, a new level of the PCI standard.
  
  PROCUREMENT ASSURANCE
  ---------------------
  Hewlett-Packard qualifies an additional supplier for a
  component in order to secure the procurement.
  
  COMPONENT ROLL
  --------------
  A semiconductor supplier introduces a new version of a
  component, and stops the production of the previous version for
  technological improvement reasons.
  
  QUALITY
  -------
  To improve the quality, Hewlett-Packard has to make use of a
  more reliable component, or to implement a design change.
  
  COST
  ----
  Hewlett-Packard uses a different supplier which can supply the
  equivalent component at a much lower price.
  
  BUG FIX
  -------
  Bugs discovered in the previous version are fixed.
  
  
                            DISCLAIMER
