fwupdate.exe
V1.4 firmware update for use with ARC (NT) console . Copy to FAT
format HD floppy disk and use 'Install New Firmware' option in ARC
console menu. Can be used to update to ARC console 4.42 or SRM console
X4.3-3114 Minimum memory requirement for operation of fwupdate.exe is
now 16MB. fw_v1_4.image V1.4 firmware update for use with SRM console
(Unix) etc. Note that the SRM console has not changed from V1.35 firmware.

What I did:

put fwupdate.exe on an MSDOS disk, stuck it into the Alpha, and typed
	update srm

And after a short time and a reboot, I was running the srm console.
