Re: Older Alpha server and Firmware question
I do not suppose you know how to get 3.20x7 installed on some KGPSA-BC adapters in a AS1200 using the AS1200 FW update util ? The update util for this version does not do this by itself as it looks like it is too old and unaware of KGPSA controllers even though there are notes about them in the readme file ???

Re: Older Alpha server and Firmware question
you need to do the update via ARC/AlphaBIOS.
Firmware and instructions are here:
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/readmes/archive/utility/
See 'identify.txt' and 'dnldrdme.txt'.

Re: Older Alpha server and Firmware question
the latest firmware (also if it is no longer on the CD can always be found at
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/index.html
(Both the address and the design are a real blast from the past btw ;-)
Honestly speaking, I would tend to stick with the FW version for the controler that matches the FW for your system. These are tested together and should work. Unless you have a specific problem you need to solve I would not upgrade the controller. While engeneering does test plenty of combinations it is simply impossible to test all possible combinations of Server/Cards/OS/FW, so there is a good chance you end up with an untested combination.
