pdp11 memory misc

We've just placed a tentative order with Imperial Technology for a 4Mb
semiconductor disk emulator in hopes we can put /tmp or most of the root
on it and speed up our system.  Have other sites out there had experience
with this?  DataRam also was very interested, but Imp. Tech. had a cache
bus interface (DR didn't) and I didn't want to flush cache every time we
used it.  Any idea as to how much difference this buys (it's a big difference
in $$)?
We are also getting more main memory and would like to go to all 256K MK11
boards (yet another vendor).  We have about 40 of the 64K boards in old
11/70s and would love to sell them to someone who wants them.  One possibility
is people with 11/60s since they can't use the bigger board.  Does anyone
know of any other likely markets?  It would probably mean finding 20 11/60
systems with low memory if they're the only possibilities -- good luck!
