Hm.. I could have sworn they were the same. Oh well. Figures. :-)

That is also true of the M9301.

Yes. And this is more or less also how it works on the M9301. However, 
it seems that DEC didn't actually put difference devices in their own 
roms for the M9301, but treated the whole ROM memory as a big chunk with 
a bunch of different devices bootstraps in there.

I thought I remembered moving boot roms from an M9301 to an M9312, but 
that must be my memory playing tricks with me then.

Yes. As do the 11/84 and 11/94, which can take those boot roms in the 
Unibus adapter.

Right.
