What about memory?  All the dual-height CPUs including the KDJ11-A are
CPU-only.

You'd be better using an MXV11-B (you can disable the bootstrap)
instead of the DLV11-J.

Smallest of all would be a Falcon or one of the other KXT11 series.
  Everything on one card, and you could add a disk controller if you
wanted.
