Sounds close. Maybe a DMR11 for Unibus? (We didn't have one for
Qbus)

Why do bugs matter?

Never saw a DSV11 - too new and too spiffy. We used to ship
the DPV11 in the HASPBOX, the PDP-11-based predecessor to
the COMBOARD (the code, in fact, was 90% ported from PDP-11
MACRO to MC68000 assembler by a TECO macro. The comments in
some of the COMBOARD-I code still make reference to the PDP-11).
