I have come to the realization that I need more memory for my 11/84...
I just got done doing a SYSGEN of RSX-11M/PLUS V4.2, with DECNet-11M/PLUS,
and DECMail-11, and 128kb cache.

This leaves me with about 200kb of 1mb memory for programs...


I have a couple standard Q-Bus MSV11-L, MSV11-P memories which I would
like to use in my 11/84, but I don't know if anything detrimental
will happen.

Can I use the -L and -P memories (I don't feel like buying any -J or -Q
memories. :-( ) in the 11/84? Will it slow the system down any by
using non-PMI memory?

BTW, if anyone has any 11/84 memory which they would be willing to
sell cheaply, please let me know.


Thanks,
