Well, that's their problem, not ours.

However, let's clarify things here.

Alpha Processor Inc. have a number of products, and there appears to be 
some confusion here.

  UP2000	AlphaBIOS only
  UP1000	AlphaBIOS only
  264DP		AlphaBIOS and SRM
  164LX		AlphaBIOS and SRM
  164UX		AlphaBIOS only

This is based on their website; their FTP server doesn't want to let me 
in for whatever reason.  Based on this, my original comments about the
UP2000 stand; there appears to be no OSF PALcode (since there's no SRM), 
and thus we face the originally-described set of challenges in running on 
it.
