Why not T11, they are easily found (rqdx, and

I assume T11 also provide Q-BUS as chip interface, so probably two different
"CPU+bootstrap ROM" cards could be designed and used with same motherboard that
would provide all peripherals.
No the signals it provices are a subset, there would be buffering and
a few decodes needed to be bus. Qbus is a larger bus than the micros
from DEC directly put out.
The T11 was more like 8085, 8086 and Z80 as the bus is configureable
for 8 or 16bit width and static address or muxed for DRAM (with refresh)
and the microcycle could be configured for system application from
a minimal to maximum.
The KXT-11 cards would be an example of a complete(minimal) T11
system on a Qbus card with full qbus expansion (Q16) for memory
and peripherals.
