Ummm.....yes and no. Do you have a DP264 or UP2000? Your subject says one
thing but the above text talks about a DP264. They are 2 different
boards. Dp264 firmware comes from Compaq, if you downloaded it from the
API site it just came from Compaq. Up2000 firmware is built inside API.
I think there might be a release 6.0 now for the DP. Have a look on
Compaq's ftp site.

No, there's no extra firmware. What's happening/or not happening? It will
need to be on the first PCI bus to work.
