With HP support for older Compaq products being somewhat unavailable, turns out making sense of the Compaq SoftPaq updates is quite the ordeal. There's a large amount of them archived on archive.org, with somewhat incomplete descriptions, so I decided to compile them into a Google Sheets file so anyone interested can just search their product and see what does what.
Here's a link to my file:

UPDATE: there's a newer, better structured file. It's still ongoing, but it's in the proper order and skips SoftPaqs I haven't found documentation for yet. Here's the link:

The file is very much in its early stages and not really useful at the moment, but I hope to get it to usable state soon.
If anyone wants to collaborate, DM me.
