Of course it turned out to be a little more complicated because the

it could be read on a PC.
A copy failed and also a third one with a fresh copy of RA200RCU.EXE
from another source.
Hardware failure? No, it appeared that the flat cable was no longer
connected to the floppy drive.

IIRC you can also find a copy of RA200RCU on the Alpha firmware update
CDs, under a Storageworks directory.

OK, but is it accessible from the ARC console? I've only used it to
run utiliies from the floppy drive.
The screen itself just lists onde device A: so it feels as if there's
no choice but to use a floppy.
What's the cdrom drive called then, D:?

IIRC, there's a drop-down list in the "Execute program" item for the
drive with entries for "A:" and "CDROM:".

The contents of the "Path" text field should be something like
"\utilities\swxcr\ra200rcu.exe".

Disclaimer: all of this is from memory.
