My curiosity is piqued. If the mods are really extensive, I may never

ISTR there were some 4MB "cache" boards for the 11/70 that one could
use in place of the MK11, but I doubt that it would be easy to find a
loose one these days.

Nope. The MK-11 memory box for the 11/70 (there are others) have the same
memory bus as the 11/750, but the MK-11 don't support 1MB boards. Believe
me, I know...
256 KB memory boards works fine in both MK-11 and 11/750 though.
And if someone *really* have 1MB boards, and an MK-11, and wants to use
them, contact me and I can start explaining what you need to do to actually
get it to work. But it requires both serious hardware hacking and software
fiddling.
I must admit, I find the idea interesting! 1MB boards do show up from time
to time, and my 11/70 could definitely use more memory. :)
