Does 4.2 run on a 785?

Our local MIS head wants to "upgrade" our Vax-780 to a 785. As he's from
IBM-land he believes in the upgrade option (it's the IBM way, DEC's counting
on the MIS heads I suspect to sell 785's).
So he wants to do it, whether we want it or not. So the question is, does
Berkeley 4.2 UNIX run on a 785, i.e. does anyone have it running? I heard
rumors someone on the net had one. Does it break anything? If so how bad?
If not, what do you get out of it? I suspect not much, especially at the
price (which is either 60K discounted from 75K, or 100K solid, with a 10 month
lead time) but like I said, we maybe forced into it no matter what.
Like they say, Thanks in advance.
