Original Problem:

I have a Personal Workstation _at_ 500a -> a-series.
Since I want to install Digital UNIX, do I *really* have to buy an
au-series? Or I can D/L SRM console from anyware and use Digital UNIX, even
if they say that 'au' supports boths OS and 'a' suports WinNT?

Solution:

After upgrade with the lastest firmware on
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/
you must go to AlphaBIOS / CMOS Setup and choose Advanced Setting.
Then, just choose to start Digital UNIX SRM console from the Console
Selection.

There you go! SRM console on a 500a PW.

Don't forget that must install 4.0C, say
