Building a PDP-11 for the first time

The M8190 was salvaged from a PDP-11/23 backplane where it had been
running, so I assumed that it would work in a QBUS setup. Is there an easy
way to tell whether the card is really Unibus or QBUS?

Actually a PDP-11/84 uses a Q-Bus CPU in an adapter of some sort, same with
the memory. My concerns with what I see listed above are if the memory
will
work with the CPU (did it come out of the same system?), I don't have time
to check the part number. The other concern is, since you're wanting to
run
2.11BSD, is the disk controller supported?
