Those last are probably typos for "DD1, DE1, DF1".

Yeah, those are all standard Q22 ground pins.

That would be my take on it, yes.

As Jerry Weiss mentions, since it's not a DMA device, once you do that, it
should be Q22-capable; all QBUS devices are supposed (per the QBUS spec) to
use BBS7, along with BDAL0-12, to listen for register accesses, so the fact
that it's not listening to BDAL18-21 should not be an issue. 

(Odd factoid: various QBUS CPU's drive various combinations of BDAL13-21
during references to the I/O page; I forget the details off the top of my
head, but Dave Bridgham and I were just looking at that.)
