    Hello Admin Wizards,

    as mentioned earlier I got a DEC Alpha 8200 and am going to run it w/
    true64 (if I manage to handle the firmware update procedure ;o) )

    Now the system is basically working. The 8200 contains one KFE72 adapter
    box that contains the SIO module in slot 0, the floppy disk module in
    slot 2 and two raid controllers in slots 5 and 9 (both PCI slots).

    Both of the controllers are correctly recognized by the system. Now I
    need to reconfigure them. No problem, I thought, because the controllers
    are two rock solid MYLEX DAC960LB-DB1 with whom I am familiar - I use
    them in my remaining two alpha 1000 machines. So I issued

    run fat:swxcrmgr.exe

    from the srm prompt - and got the surprising and shocking answer:
    No swxcr device found.
    Initializing.

    Hm.
    I already browsed the LSI Webpage but could not find the DAC960LB
    (amongst a number of other DAC controllers).

    I would be grateful for a hint - what software could I use to
    reconfigure the two controllers?

    thanks for every thought on this

    CW
