Wow, someone else with an RKV11-D!  I thought I was the only
person who had one.   I modified mine (using the dead bug
technique) to add 18-bit addressing instead of just 16, and
ran it successfully with RT-11 and RSX-11M on my 11/73 system.

I have had DEC people visit my place, look at the RKV11-D, and
say "DEC never made anything like that!".  :-)
