11/23+ box with Microvax Memory

I see on the usual site, an 11/23 box with a couple of random boards, one of which is an M7608 board. This is a Microvax memory board. I wonder if one can build up a Microvax in that backplane, or if that is not recommended. It would obviously be an 18 bit backplane. The backplane is H9276A
