Sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying. 
The 11/84 has a Q-Bus CPU, which is the same as the 11/83. Therefore,
one should be able to put Q-Bus memories in it, albiet with some reduction
in speed.
Also, what do you mean by "you can't put memory on it"? Of course you can!
If you couldn't, the 11/84 would probably not have sold very well...
