Re: adaptec scsi cont. / srm upgrade?

I think you may be in trouble there, as far as I know only the SRM for the
later series of machines supports adaptec controllers. You can try getting
the latest for that box, should be in:
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/

or you'll have to boot from the floppy/CDROM/symbios card.
