In general, I wouldn't trust firmware from sources other than Digital. Not to
say anything bad about H.J.Mos_at_fys.ruu.nl, since I haven't met him. :) The
official location for alpha firmware is:
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/v*.*
(where v*.* = the CD version number, such as V3.3).
The URL
http://www.service.digital.com/alpha/server/firmware/ has detailed
instructions for obtaining and installing firmware on all alpha systems via a
variety of methods (i.e. BOOTP, MOP, FAT floppy, and more). You definitely want
to have this on your hotlist/bookmark.
If this site is too slow or far away for European alpha users, then Digital
should mirror these files from a closer site. Digital?
