The Unibus has 18 address lines. This should work so long as the memory doens't respond to I/O page addresses (the top 4kW of the address space). That's a requirement for any Unibus memory on any PDP11. The difference between 11/20 and 11/05 vs. the others is that the lack of MMU means that the CPU can't generate addresses in the range 28 to 124 kW. (I/O devices can, though, which would be rather interesting.) paul
