OK, what I have on the Alpha box is:

PATCH-SYM-0.10.0-19991111       SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz
PATCH-SYM-0.11.0-19991120

The markings of the motherboard's chip say:

- NCR810   
  609-03911399
  XP05901
  9426N  <- probably a datecode of 1994, week 2

The markings on the chip of the PCI expansion board say:

- NCR810 
  609-0391635
  9503N  <- probably a datecode of 1995, week 3

So, is not an 810A but an 810-plain. At least, I assume the 810A is marked
as such (?).
