The display register also exist on some Qbus machines, such as the 
11/83, which have a two digit 7 segment display.

Uh. I/O addresses as such are just addresses. Devices might be similar 
between Unibus and Qbus. Depends on the device. There are many Qbus 
devices that are similar/compatible with their Unibus counterparts, but 
not always. DMA devices are not, for the obvious reason. However, they 
can still be "mostly compatible".

The memory management is compatible, so no, memory management is not 
done differently.

All that said, yeah, the second serial port is most likely not at 
177570. But that can be checked in the manuals...
