Well, I'm probably the least-knowledgable on the subject, but...
I've got my release 3P FOS tape here with the install guide, and it
indicates all of the different configuration options for the 37, XE,
Micro's, 39, 40, 42, 44, 48, 58, 64, 68, and 70. So I'm assuming it'd be
fine...which version of MPE V do you have? If you need the 3P FOS...(and
I've got the full subsys tapes too)...
Cheers,
Aaron

Stan Sieler got me to re-read one of my manuals. I'm still not sure
what it looks like on the tape, but it looks like a bootable tape can
contain multiple WCS loads for different models of CPU and still
support the models that have microcode in ROM. So this can work,
if the /37 microcode is in its place on the FOS tape, and I think
that's pretty likely for a (probably mass-produced) FOS tape.
