1503.3It did not workVAXRIO::FELIPEWed Mar 12 1997 09:2423
    Hi,
    
    	I tried to install UNIX 4.0A on a AlphaStation 200 4/233 previously
    running NT. I did exactly what you told to upgrade the firmware to
    V3.7, but didn't work, I didn't find an option called "Update
    AplhaBIOS", but I found "Install new firmware", so I tried this one, but
    I could not get the prompt APU->, the screen got black with a white
    line in the middle of it.
    	A friend of mine gave me one information, but I want to know more about
    this problem,he told me that I can not upgrade to firmware 3.7 to install
     UNIX on a AlphaStation 200, he told that if I tried to do with 
    version 3.4 or version 3.5  I would get it, but I haven't tried yet.
    
            Thanks in advance.
    
    	        Regards,
