Indeed the 11/44 will work and very well with 2.11BSD. Before the
one at work got shutdown (RA81 failure and the support department here
doesn't like PDP-11s and refuses to help fix it) the care and feeding
of 2.11 was shared between a 11/44 (for UNIBUS related stuff) and a
11/73 (for QBUS).
The 11/84 and 94 will also work very well. Qbus models from the 11/53
on up will also work (the 53 hasn't actually been 'tested' but "should"
work, the 73, 83, 93 are all known to work).
While the 11/45 has the MMU aspects required (split I/D and supervisor
mode) it doesn't support enough memory. The 11/45 can only have 248kb
of memory and a full 2.11 kernel+networking+diskcache+datastructures
setup weighs in at almost 400kb
