I have an i2000 here that is still running rev 103, and I'd like to
upgrade it.  Problem is, it has a C1 processor, and the current
firmware release (130) requires a C2.  Is there any way I can get
access to the 117c firmware release?

The good news is that 2.5.72 seems to run fine on the box anyway (with
CONFIG_MCA disabled, mind you); special thanks to Peter Chubb for
fixing the keyboard problem.

Richard,

   See this post on debian-ia64:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2003/debian-ia64-200306/msg00008.html

Ben Collins has made an ISO image available with firmware
117c.  I put in a request to get 117c back up on the
driver download page at hp.com.  It sounded like it was
in progress, but I'll check on it to see it gets done.
Thanks,

	Alex
