Firmware revision for Alpha 1000A running OpenVMS ?

Hi
I'm currently running OpenVMS 7.1 on Alpha 1000A.
The current firmware revision is 5.5.
I want to upgrade to OpenVMS 7.3-2 but a warning appears before upgrade that I need to be on at least firmware v.5.6.
On the document with firmware update v6.5 it seems that Alpha 1000A is no longer covered.

What firmware edition should I be using? And which download site is it obtainable from ?

Regards
Graham

Graham,

the last firmware for the 1000A was V5.7.
You can find it here:

A small addition: we were running V8.2 on such a system with firmware V5.7 since V8.2 was released with no problems.

In case of the AlphaServer 1000A you may use the following firmware versions:

AlphaServer 1000A 4/xxx 5.7-83
AlphaServer 1000A 5/xxx 5.7-80

These firmware revisions are not available on the latest firmware CD's but requires CD V6.0

You can download firmware from:

http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/

Select your hardware under the "Firmware Not on CD" section to get the available firmware files.
