Yes, for example on a DEC PWS 433au. It is also possible to load the SRM console on a DEC
PWS 433a (Windows NT only), and once you had a supported SCSI card, and if you wanted
video, a supported video card, you can run OpenVMS (or Tru64). This was my primary VMS
box for many years, including several years after one of the PCI slots died (which speaks
highly in my mind about how well the hardware was made).
My main box is now a Compaq XP1000/667, though I?m slowly moving everything to a
virtualized cluster.

On Alpha?s, the SRM console supports both OpenVMS
and Tru64, while the ARC firmware only supports WinNT.
Wasn't it possible to switch between ARC and SRM on many Alphas? As in to overwrite
one firmware with the other?
