Thanks to all that responded, but the "real" concern was if "a given FOS
Restore command on a particular release" would restore all of the
Turbo-enhanced store formats, and the answer appears to be yes.  There
have been backward-compatible issues in the past (CM vs NM store, Turbo
parallel storesets, Turbo INTERleaved format, etc).  I recall early
notation that the INTERleaved format was not universally compatible, but
that was most likely my foggy memory of a backward compatibility issue.
 
Thanks again..
