That's actually a BA430 for the 4000-200 (seach for the
EK?436AB?IN?002 manual on the net), while the BA440 is used for
4000-300 and beyond.
You can put a KA660 in a BA213, but then you need to cable up the DSSI
bus, while the DSSI bus is routed directly to the CPU slot for the
KA660 in the BA430.
The BA440 has those processor-memory interconnect
slots to
the right of the Qbus, right?
Yes. IIRC this special CPU slot also brings one of
the two DSSI buses
to the backplane.
