Idle curiosity makes me wonder about the
V11/KA820-825 now. IT was like the 750 in that the console functions were implemented in
microcode (i.e. no front end) but it did have console media in the form of an RX50.
Can't remember if it actually loaded some microcode patches from the diskette, like
the 750 did with the TU58, or if all the V11 microcode was permanently buried in the chip.
We have an 8250 at LSSM. I don't know if it's capable of loading
microcode patches from console media, but I can tell you that it doesn't
require console media to come up. I don't know offhand if the V11 has
PCS or not.
