I have lots of a 780, and lots of a 785.
Which boards were changed when upgrading to a 785? Can I somehow combine
the two and get a CPU? If I can, I can get a set of backplanes from ATS,
but they're supposed to be spares for the VAX they've already decomissioned.
They don't really want to give them to me unless I have a use for them.
The backplane was different, the entire CPU and floating point were
different. The Massbuss and Unibus adapters were the same...
I'll pull my '780 docs Saturday when I get home.
