I've left the fwupdate.exe that I *think* we used last week at http://www.freebsd.org/~gallatin/fwupdate.exe. You should be able to squeeze this onto a floppy with the sx164srm.rom you already have. The versioning issues have to do with finding the most recent version of fwupdate.exe is which small enough to fit on a floppy together with sx164srm.rom. After you're running SRM, I whole-heartedly suggest updating the firmware to the latest version available from the normal Compaq ftp sites.
