Yup, LSI-11, the quad card - I had one open just a couple of years ago:

Just to loop things around a bit:
Some of the larger VAXes used small PDP-11s (and their
bastard offspring) as console processors.
This started with the very first VAX, the 11/780, which
used an 11/23 as a console. The console ran a stripped-down
system, possibly based on RT-11 or RSX-11, I forget (and
am typing this on a train in the Outer Mongolia part of
Texas where it's hard to look up references).
RT-11. Original LSI-11 (quad card) or perhaps 11/2 (dual card). The
processor card that was used in a system called 11/03.
