Since it's not too far away, I was thinking about

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.
