But the QBUS part of _any_ QBUS backplane is not 'directional' in the same
way the CD part of the backplane in an ordinary Q/CD backplane is. (Note that
the 11/84 backplane's CD section is _not_ 'directional' the way a normal Q/CD
backplane's CD section is. See:

for more.) So for plain QBUS memory, it doesn't matter where it is in the
QBUS backplane, in relation to the CPU.
