I have heard that the 785 is 100% compatible with the 780... right down to
the processor I.D.  I have also heard that Dec purposefully did not fix the
bugs in the new 785 to keep it compatible with the 780.

So, in answer to your question... I don't know.  However, I don't forsee you
having any problems fixing the boot program if it does not work En-old.
