    Well it seems there is no ISO download from the web. A few people pointed me
    to the individual downloads (
    http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/ ), but I was already
    aware of them.

    In the end I had an offer from Lawrie Smith to send me a copy, thanks
    Lawrie.
    Below are a few of the informative responses I received. I may try to create
    a CD from the info given by John Lanier.

    Thanks to all,
    Alan

    In case you haven't seen this already, here is a "Best Practices" document
    on
    creating your own firmware CD:

    We get our firmware update CDs from HP support, as we have software as well
    as hardware maintenance on our Alphas.

    From: Dr Thmonas Blinn

    A copy of the current Alpha firmware CD is included in the base OS
    media kit. If you get a V5.1B-1 media kit, it will have the latest
    firmware CD inside the box.
