I was referring to the ability to update back to SRM from ARC using the
utilities and methods that i described. The AS-200 will not support
both SRM and ARC in the flash at the same time. My apologies for implying
that the opposite was true.

You can switch back to SRM from ARC as i have done this several times
already. I can not speak to the AS400 as I have never used one. I just
wanted to point out that one wouldnt be stuck with an ARC-only system
with no way to get back to SRM easily. 
As for the DEC documentation ... it is often confusing, mislabeled or
numbered and it doesnt cover anything unrelated to NT or Digital UNIX.
