Basically, you trawl round the digital ftp server until you find the file lx164srm.com (I think its in the v5.0 firmware release). Put this file on the AlphaBIOS firmware floppy and go to the firmware update section of the AlphaBIOS menus. There will be an option to switch to SRM which will overwrite the AlphaBIOS firmware with SRM. To switch back, put the same floppy in the driver and type 'nt' from SRM's ">>>" prompt. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
