This machine was apparently upgraded in the field. This was a common DEC practice for
many years, and part of the package was new livery for the machine.
The machine sitting next to it is badged "11/785", and all evidence is that it
was shipped as such, i.e. with the KA785 CPU. -- Ian

Ok, this bothers me. Why is it an "11/780-5" not an "11/785" like
everyone else in the world seems to call them?
