"freeley available" in the sense that it comes with every Merced box.

I understood David's posting to mean Mckinley machines are available
with firmware from other vendors (SGI, HP, Intel, IBM?, et al) and
those systems will (likely) not boot Win98. I highly doubt HP ZX1
machines will but haven't tried and probably never will.
