Unices (2.X BSD, V7M-11, etc.) for the Micro/PDP-11?

We have 4 Micro/PDP-11s lying aroung our lab.  (They originally ran
RT-11 and RSX-11.)  I would like to run 2.X BSD or some other form of
Unix on them;  however, I'm not sure whether this particular model
of PDP-11 has the correct hardware to support virtual memory Unix.

The PDP-11 Architecture Handbook has a little chart showing which
DEC-supported OSes will run on the various flavors of PDPs.  The
Micro/PDP-11 seems to run all of them, so I have some hope that
it can run a VM Unix.

If anyone out there still runs Unix on PDP-11s (particularly 2.X BSD),
could you please drop me a line as to which Unix you run on which
PDP?  

I'm also interested in how much disk space is needed.  One of our
PDPs has a 175 MB 9unformatted) Maxtor drive in it (I couldn't find
a model number);  the others have the standard 11 MB drives.
