The 11/03 is the most notable one with a 2KW I/O space, but that's a mod, not
the standard. Quit commonly done, though, because it was only 16-bit address.

Yes, I've got one, and it is indeed 22-bit. The problem is, I only have the
board set, not the backplane, front panel, etc. I have a spare backplane, and
I once inrtended to rewire it and build a panel, but never found enough info
(the second slot is wired to the first in a non-standard way, to accomodate the
Unibus map connections).
