I suppose this is the price I pay for not having enumerated in nauseous detail that I've been there, done that. I've also searched Yahoo, Altavista, and DejaNews. Looked at every Digital Firmware CD-ROM from version 2.9 through 5.0. Looked at RedHat and NetBSD web sites. Etc., etc., etc. > > You'll need to know which DEC system(s) used the board - Yes, I know.

Okay, back to the original question: Does anyone have the firmware for this board that they'd be willing to provide by ftp -- either as dd'ed diskette images or the DOS files, or whatever? (I'm on hackers, not on alpha [yet], so if you'd be so kind as to cc: me in any reply you send, I'd be most grateful.) Thanks, -- Kaleb S.
