  Should not work, as far as I know. The CPU bus on an
11/84 is always
 PMI. 
We had a prior discussion about this. Remember the jumpers I found on the
11/84 backplane? They can turn the PMI section (AFAICT) into a real QBUS. But
that's if one wanted to use a QBUS _device_ in an 11/84 backplane (in the PMI
part, of course).

For QBUS _memory_, it should 'just work', in the same way that you can plug
an M8190 into a Q/CD backplane with some QBUS memory, and it will 'just
work'. (I.e. the M8190 will automatically do QBUS memory cycles if that's the
kind of memory that's out there.)

Now, whether the _KTJ11_ will work properly with QBUS memory instead of PMI
- no idea on that one! :-)
