	Errr. Thats a problem. I have an IBM laptop and the Alpha PC. I don't
have a PC.

	SRM or ARC?

	I know how from ARC, how do I do from SRM?

	I ran the ARCCF.EXE, which was like an RA200RCU.EXE that someone
else gave me. The problem I have is I can format the disks, but can't
initialize. I was hoping the new firmware would get past this.

	Got it.

	Put on floppy.

	Ran ARCFL.EXE -d and it tells me there are no Mylex Disk Array 
Controllers Found. :( Is this why you said you've never gotten it to work
on Alpha?

	Where do we go from here?!
