Ummm.....yes and no. Do you have a DP264 or UP2000? Your subject says one thing but the above text talks about a DP264. They are 2 different boards. Dp264 firmware comes from Compaq, if you downloaded it from the API site it just came from Compaq. Up2000 firmware is built inside API. I think there might be a release 6.0 now for the DP. Have a look on Compaq's ftp site. > Anyone have any luck with this card? Is there extra firmware I need to load > perhaps? Right now, our 264DP has only the SRM and NT firmware. No, there's no extra firmware. What's happening/or not happening? It will need to be on the first PCI bus to work. --rdp -- Rich Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.alphalinux.org
