by flashing the SRM console on a Alphastation XP 900 with Feb 2007 Alpha Firmware 7.3 Update CD-ROM (which has a DS10 Update directory for Firmware 7.3-1) it turned (by accident) into an Alphaserver DS 10. Nice you might think...
Is there any chance to make it an XP 900 again since it requires more license units (15 for Alphaserver, 12 for Alphastation). Not really important for OpenVMS Hobbyist approach, but since I still have org. DEC license certificates for 12 units, I would like to keep the option run an independent and unrestricted license from a separate system disk.
Any Hints ? using google I did not find any hint that there is a specific XP 900 7.3-1 SRM Update...any hints appreciated.

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
