I know for sure that this is the a-series and it has a Qlogic ISP1040B
SCSI-card, which runs very well on Tru64. :-) I've seen rumours about
Adaptec-fited PW's, but Adaptec cards is not supported as boot devices,
from what I've read. (Strange, cause our new Alpha ES45's have Adaptec
cards)

The latest (and "correct") firmware 7.2 is:

...under AlphaBIOS.
