I don't recall clearly whether our 780 (bought about 1980?) 
came with a small WCS or no WCS.
I do remember a big upgrade (glad we had DEC service!) that 
involved upgrading/installing WCS for
some version of VMS to run.  So, after a certain vintage of 
VMS (at least) you HAD to have WCS on the 780.
