I don't know anything about the 11/780 =>
11/785
upgrade but I would be surprised if the backplane
had to be replaced.
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.
I suspect the underlying assumption is just that
there are not that many of the beasts still around.
I guess by the time I have the room for one of
these, there won't be any left!

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.
