Here is how it is connected: https://i.imgur.com/4TEZoiO.jpg

The sandwiched dual boards are i sitting in 27 / 26 AB. The board in 27AB
was empty (quick glance), while the board in 26AB has a few TTL chips on it.
 Slot 26AB is the Unibus A slot, Slot 27 AB should be a terminator on
Unibus B. (maybe there were terminating resistors on the second board.
Didn't check in detail) Slot 28AB is Unibus B and goes to the DD11-C and
the RK11-D backplanes.

The hex ABLE/ ACT board sits in slot 21 which is the memory controller
board for the MS11.

It very much looks like it is a Cache board. But why have some one written
"Not used" (Används ej) on it? I'll hope I find the documentation for it!

I wonder whether this CACHE/45 can coexist with MS11 memory on the Fastbus itself, or is designed to _replace_ MS11 memory by accelerating access to Unibus-based memory?  The available product literature doesn't clarify either way.
