That's for the AXPpci33, rather than the AlphaPC64 (or AlphaPC164)
which are the machines that we were talking about.  8-)


In any case, why go that far for an old version of AXPpci33 firmware?

ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/v3.8/decaxppci33/

has version 1.6.


... but, as for the AlphaPC{,1}64, there's no firmware there.
