There we go. I have an 11/05 in a BA11-D box with a DD11-B expansion 
backplane with a 9 pin power plug sourcing +15, -15, +5.

So is the DD11-B a MUD backplane? If not, what is it?

Hm. So I could get the power for the +20/-5 by replacing the 744 with a 
754 and wiring up my own harness. However that would have two problems:

1) I'd be low on +5 for things like an RL11 controller.
2) I don't know if the DD11-B uses the 20 volt and -5 volt lines for 
something else.

This is so much fun!
