It should work (famous last words!) in any Unibus based PDP-11.

Any of the devices can be configured enabled/disabled and as to what the 
based address
is (this includes the memory...if you want to use the memory to "fill 
in" the remainder, it
can do that too).  There is space for 32 boot ROM images, of which you 
can select any 4
to appear in the Unibus address space.

So, that was a long answer to if (for example) on the 11/05 you want to 
retain the built
in console SLU, you can do that and either have 2 additional SLUs, (or 1 
or none).
