Not on the FW update CD V5.3 I have here.

Correct. I have a EBSDK CDROM Ver 2.1 (dated 1996) and 
that one has the PC64 firmware on it:

I do, however, from the license stuff get the impression that one cannot
give the SRM away. But wasn't it at one time at gatekeeper.dec.com?
I doubt you will be able to get a CD this old from DEC/Compaq anymore.

I hate legalese English, anybody got an idea what the status of this all
is? 

Groeten / Cheers,
