Hello,

I used a SRM firmware A5.6-4.1-14 for UP1000 downloaded from

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/alpha/api/up1000/

Is this latest?

  I found a API's firmware up2000_srm_5.8-81.tar.gz at

http://www.alphalinux.org/firmware/api/

but there was no description that we can use this firmware for UP1000.

BTW, I also found up1000_srm_5.6_beta.zip at the alphalinux site, which 
need to install SRM to UP1000 with AlphaBIOS. Now no official API's 
site to download firmwares.
