Most systems can take either SRM and/or AlphaBIOS (or ARC for older
systems). The only ones that can't are the 164PC (SX) and the
DeskStation/Samsumg UX boards (that have their own ARCS BIOS).
(I think I got that right).

What do you mean by the Samsung boards? LX and UX?

The LX can take either SRM or AlphaBIOS, but only one at a time.
UX uses ARCS BIOS and the DP264 comes with both SRM and AlphaBIOS.
