OK, I didn't get that. 
Wouldn't W2k have that driver ?

Possibly, but I didn't have the w2k beta downloaded.

I doubt that will ever work. NT4 won't even install on an AlphaServer 1200 which predates the ES40. 
You need a HAL and boot support for the system. 
Even Windows 2000 won't run on an ES40. 

Using the DS20's HAL, it will boot to the installer.   The only thing stopping me is the lack of a driver for my SCSI controller.

Hello!

I'm attempting to get NT 4 installed on my alpha server es40   is there an NT 4 TSE hardware support disk for this?

I got it to boot using the DS20 disk   but despite having 2 keyboards plugged in   neither work in NT setup (this is early setup, too!)

Any ideas?   The ES40 hates this damn keyboard...
