When you get it working maybe post some pictures or a brief description of
the setup. I have a 4000-700 that I believe was used in some sort of dual
mode like you describe, but it's still on my to be explored list

Oh wait, your "Vax 4000-200" is a KA660 in a BA215? Then the internal DSSI
is connected via the 50-pin connector piggybacked on the KA660.
Not via the BA430 backplane. Connecting the KFQSA's external DSSI
connector to the other end of the DSSI bus, via an external DSSI cable,
should still work.
The possible problem with just disconnecting the DSSi internal cable from
the CPU and leaving it hanging, is no longer terminating that end of the
DSSI bus.
