Sure, get a MJ11 memory box (or, rather, 4 times as many MJ11's as you
had MK11's) :-).

There are several other third-party memory boxes/cards available too.

I do believe that there's an option to map some of the memory space on the
Unibus into memory space. It probably doesn't work correctly at all if
you're using the Massbus slots for I/O, though, and you certainly can't
get above 124 kWords doing this.

Out of curiosity, why can't you use your MK11's? Not enough power to
run them and the 11/70 at the same time? I had to take multiple 15A
circuits to run my 11/70 with MJ11 memory boxes.
