The 11/44 I have has it (TU58) under the CPU cage. Two slots labled "0"
& "1".

It was internal and primary use was diagnostis as
it was on a serial
line making it the easiest thing to bring up.
That depends on the 11/44 configuration. The TU58 was not mounted inside
the CPU vox like on a VAX11/730. One standard configuration put the CPU
on top of a half-height rack with a TU58 below it. But you could also get
the CPU box on its own to stick in an H960 6' rack. And then the TU58
might be rack mounted separately, it might be a table-top unit, it might
not even exist.
Yes, I have an 11/23 with an external TU58 that
runs RT11. The one
internal to the 44 could also run RT if memory serves. RT11/TU58 expects
a DL compatable serial line to use the DD driver.
The 11/44 TU58 interface basically emulates a second DL line (the console
is the other DL line of course), and AFAIK you can run RT11 from it.
