Quick one:
Can I plug a M7891-DA into a 11/44?
This is supposed to be 128kW MOS RAM for the 11/24 and 11/34A...
BTW, what kinds of memory options/expansions does a 11/44 have?

I believe the M7891 (MS11-Lx) is compatible with the 11/44 memory slots,
but it needs to have some jumpers changed to allow this:
1) Change from MODIFIED UNIBUS (MUD, 18b) to EXTENDED UNIBUS (EUB, 22b)
decoding.
Jumper W4: MOD/IN EUB/OUT
2) Change from +15V supply (MUD slot) to +12V supply (EUB slot, 11/44
backplane).
Jumpers W1&W2: +15v/W1-OUT,W2-IN +12v/W1-IN,W2-OUT
The MS11-Lx is a parity module, up to 256KB density. More standard
memory options for the 11/44 would be MS11-Mx 256KB ECC, and MS11-Px
1024KB ECC.

Hey, thanks for the detailed slot hacking procedures! :-)
I didn't know that one could use a MS11-Px and save 3 slots tto get
1MB on a 11/44!!
So theoretically I can cram 4 MS11-Px boards to achieve full 22bits
(4MB) RAM on a 11/44??

I'm running my 11/44 with four MS11-PB (4096K total physical). However,
due to the I/O page and UNIBUS map restrictions that eat up some
physical address space, the usable physical memory is only 3840KB (not
4096KB).
I believe the MS11-Px series was specifically designed for the 11/44 and
11/24 systems.

Very nice!

Yeah. Unibus I/O map...

Any MS11-Px to spare?
