Yes, I was told about it the first time I called RTOC/CCSC about 5.x.
I'm currently waiting on some parts for my 9825 so I can go forward on
it; I've already got the tapes and docs.  I'm told that I'm down-rev
on data caches, TPEs, and TAs for 5.1.  No sweat, I understand it's
covered on our service contract.  The 9825 has to upgrade first, since
it's got the fewest critical services; the others (1 98x, 2 98xe) will
upgrade immediately after.  Apparently there aren't any board-level
dependencies for 5.x on the 98s.
