Uh, this is incorrect.  Both Jensen and Multia had/have SRM.

IIRC, AlphaXL systems, AlphaPC64's, the newer Samsung boards and a few
others have only ARC or AlphaBIOS.  Really, the set of systems without
SRM is small, and the set of systems which are interesting these days
which only have SRM is decreasing.  (really, only the samsung boards
are left, right?)  Even things like (at least some of) the white-box
systems have SRM (e.g. the 330x boxes you can get on Onsale right
now).
