Subject: Newbie question: How do I flash SRM console onto a 164LX?
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 19:28:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E95FE10.5030509@ameritech.net> (raw)

I just bought a used AlphaPC 164LX system.  (Well, actually, a 
motherboard and some cards in a case...calling it a system yet would be 
a bit deceptive. ;) )  It's currently got AlphaBIOS 5.6, and I want to 
switch it over to SRM.  I can't seem to do this, and I'm not sure what 
I'm doing wrong.  DEC's instructions make it sound so easy. ;)

I downloaded LX164SRM.ROM and put it on a FAT format floppy.  But when I 
choose the "AlphaBIOS Update" option in the AlphaBIOS Setup screen, it 
just prompts me to insert the disk containing the firmware update 
utility.  I tried putting in a disk with fwupdate.exe, instead, and got 
that to load, but it isn't clear to me how I get it to install my ROM file.

Any help would be much appreciated.
