Uh? The Unibus map is for translating 18-bit addresses to 22-bit 
addresses. And it can translate all of it. In fact, you can (at least in 
theory) go a bit above 22 bits that way.

If you look at the physical address space of the 11/70 however, the low 
3840 bytes are doing on to the memory bus. 3840 to 4088 is going to the 
Unibus memory space, which is remapped by the Unibus map, if enabled. 
And the last 8K goes to the Unibus.
