Greetings,

We just received an FCO from DEC for our 11/780's.  It performs an
upgrade to "Revision 8 or 8B".  Quoting from the document

	New FPLA pattern is required to support WCS 125 microcode.
	New microcode fixes problems with EDITPC EO$ADJUST_INPUT,
	ASHP, XFC, MOVP, CALLS/CALLG, REI, REMQUE, and RET
	instrustions.

The package contains a ROM, some jumpers, and a new console floppy.
Has anyone else had the FCO put in?  Does it break 4.3BSD?
