The real test is getting RSTS/E running. You need the Quickware replacement
CPU board set and memory so it really will be the baddest PDP-11. ;-)

I hope that you have a TU16 tape with a TM02 Massbus interface not a TE16.

Now that you are an 11/70 expert you can visit Rhode Island and get ours
running. 768KB of core memory with room to grow to 1MB!
