RTE IV/B firmware is more commonly found in my experience.
RTE 6VM firmware is not ~rare~, but it is a little uncommon.
There is also a huge collection of microcode that is associated with
a 'Booster Microcode' board that extends the ALU / datapath.
This microcode and hardware is used to accelerate FFT's, and is
found in E-series CPU's used in HP's vibration control and analysis
systems (like a HP 54410B processor).
As far as I'm aware, there is no documentation for this configuration.
Is anyone aware of documentation for the 54410 variant of the 2113?

Standard on F-series, and I've only ever found one 2113 E-series CPU that
did not have it installed....
On a related topic, are the RTE-6/VM microcode ROMs commonly present in
found E- and F-Series machines? There are two sets of three; the HP part
numbers are:
92084-80001, 2, 3 (or) -80001, 80102, 80103 (or) -80007, 8, 9
and:
92084-80004, 5, 6.
