The original question is at the end of this message.
Someone confirmed that they had done this and it worked fine.
The firmware which comes with Tru64 5.1 has firmware v5.7 which is the
same as what is bundled with Tru64 5.0A.
Further enquires to compaq confirm that firmware 5.5 is minimum
requirement, with the later the version the better firmware 5.7
To find out the latest firmware details go to
ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/Firmware OR
www3.compaq.com/support/files then go to alpha firmware
Either site takes you the correct page.
The firmware 5.8 release notes do not mention 5.1 at all.
thanx again
Stevan
