I seem to
remember someone saying that the DECservers are basically a
Q-Bus PDP-11 system. Is this correct, or am I thinking of something else?
Also, does anyone know what they're based off of and if it's possible to
make them boot a 'conventional' os by changing their bootroms?
The DECserver 500 and 550 are PDP-11 systems. The others
are not.

And to finish answering the original question, the CPU
boards are
basically a PDP-11/53, and all you need to do is change the ROMs
and add a disk controller.
Or just add power and a TU-58 (or use a PC as a TU-58 emulator) :-)
(I _think_ there's a second serial port on the board. There _is_
with the KDF11-based 11/23+ CPU board).
