I would like to thank Martin Petder and Alan Douglas for helping me out
with DS10 Alpha firmware attempting to fit it into 2 disks as per HP
website...

Martin pointed out to me that the distribution of the firmware files can
be evenly done on both disks (not like how HP has distributed them) so
as to fit the whole files into two disks without running out of space on
one of them...however and quoting from Martin:

"Just make sure you follow the right order (it's the same as stated in
.txt on the first disk). Just move first four files onto the first
floppy and don't include them on the second one. You won't see the
difference :)"

I would like to bring to HP attention that the README file they included
with the latest firmware release V6.7 is outdated since a number of file
names listed in this README refer to the older firmware version files
like (dfxaa320.sys, fc2391a1.sys, kg8391a1.sys, kg7320x7.sys)

Also the new firmware has few extra files that the README completely
fail to mention such as (kzpdc340.sys, kzpsaa12.sys, fc8100x8.sys)

I couldn't finish this summary without saying that a typo was also found
in the latest firmware's release notes in page 5 under section 2.1
paraghraph that starts with "Bug Fixes and Other.." the last word of the
2nd last line in the aforementioned paraghraph is "haly" and it should
be "halt" instead.

Regards,
Alen
