Okay, looks like I need to fix the field guide.  As far as I know,
ALL of the KDJ11-B boards are qbus, period.  Some of them may only be
usable specifically in the 11/84, but remember that the first part
of the 11/84 bus is qbus and there is a q-to-u converter.  The
processor and memory go in the qbus portion of the backplane, and
the rest of the traditional unibus boards go in the unibus
portion.

I guess I'm going to have to pull out my 11/84 and do some
experimenting...
