Good question. I'm not sure. The 37 has writable control store and
so when it boots from tape I think it will want to find a WCS image
in the SYSDUMP prefix on the tape. Would the 42 FOS tapes have that
WCS image?
I suspect there need to be at least two different types of MPE V/E FOS
tapes to boot all 3000s supporting MPE V/E: one for 37s (and maybe for
the various Micro 3000s -- do they use the same microinstructions and
WCS images?), one for 64?/68/70s, and maybe one for the non-WCS 3000s.

I spotted a HP 3000 system 37 today in a scrap
place. It has two HP 7963
Question for the HP gurus:
Since it's not too far away, I was thinking about grabbing the
system. So, can I use my 3000/42 FOS tapes to reinstall the OS on
the 37?
