I did say 73B didn't I?  There were two different J11 cards, I am using 
the M8190 KDJ11-B which is Q22.  However there is a later J11 that uses 
the PMI memory.  I have memory for that one but not the CPU.

I have every Qbus PDP-11 from the LSI-11/03 through the 11/73.

Here in the greater Maynard area we get to see more of the bits that DEC 
sold.  Then again I got the option during the great bleed to purchase my
underdesk systems for a token amount as we all left that facility.  Many 
others did as well.
