Right.
Well, Paul did talk about the PDP-11 and the Qbus in it's "normal" form.
All VAXen (beyond the uVAX I) use the Qbus only as an I/O bus, while 
memory sits on PMI. So then we're back to the same thing as with the 
Unibus thingy, where DMA have to go through a remapping, since the 
system actually have more address bits than the I/O bus.
