Summary: 


Oh, about why they went to PCS....

It's totally the right thing.  It is *much* easier for them to send you
a TU58 with the latest microcode than to send an FE to install new ROMs
on your L0003.  BTW, microcode 98 claims to fix a number of problems
other than the tbuf parity errors, most to do with CI stuff.

In the tbuf case, yes, they did alter the microcode to deal with the
flakey boards.
