All true.  The VCB01 (QVSS) graphics were not sold with systems of this vintage 
(with KA655 CPU's) so the console ROM support for this device was not included.  
However, from earlier digging years ago, I recall that the VCB02 (QDSS) video 
support remains in the KA655 ROM.  If someone ever implements simh support 
for the VCB02, the expected ROM interface is waiting... :-)
