I think it was 250, was a long time ago, and FP4+ was rated at 80

Slightly higher than 200 or 400?

One could argue that if the base is more like 200-300, then ISO 800 is 
pushed 2 stops, which could be the reason for the "gritty" Tri-X look that 
some of us love.

Would love to have a densitometer. Ah well.
