The question wasn't whether the main ROM came in 1.0 (System III) and 
5.0 (System V) versions (neither of which is BSD, though 5.0 contains 
some BSD-derived code, and 1.0 might as well).  The question is whether 
the 82987A Software Engineering ROM came in two versions for use with 
the System III and System V main ROMs.
