Relax David. It's just that some of us who've been around alphas since
they came out and personally own at least 5 of them and keep them
*relatively* up to date had not found such an SRM despite several years

If somebocy can be so kind as to make ahc.ko for alpha there's still
plenty of room on the driver disk for it.
