Yup... new boards new backplane. More microcode loaded into larger WCS.
Ran at 3 clocks to 2 on the SBI... or is it the other way...
I think most 11/785's backplanes are still in the 785's.
There were plenty of spare board sets for folks doing self maintenance.

Ah, well... The 11/780's will do just fine.
I'm waiting for the TS10 simulator to do the '780 and support
networking.
I'm wondering if I can cluster it with the Vaxstation 3100 here.
