[rescue] Last Tru64?

Hi everyone!

I have an AlphaServer DS15 which I'm trying to get to run Tru64. It
currently has VMS on it with an expired hobby license, and I frankly
don't want to put up with the hassle. The system is specced with 1GB
of RAM, an extra SCSI card, and a 1Ghz CPU (but I don't know the
stepping/EV68?)

I downloaded and burned Tru64 5.1 from archive.org, which from what I
can gather is the most recent copy (but probably isn't):
https://archive.org/details/compaqtru64unix51

However, it doesn't seem to support the CPU and kernel panics on boot
complaining that it doesn't know proc_type 0xc and sys_type 0x26

So, is there another, newer rev of Tru64 out there, or some kind of
driver/kernel boot disc that I need?

Thanks!
