I've heard its possible to "upgrade" a
uVAX II to a uVAX III by replacing
the KA-630 with the KA-650 CPU. Now I've looked at a KA-650 and it has a
metal cover over its end and a small RJ-xx like plug in it. The KA-630 has
two IDC connectors that go to the 630CNF console plug in the BA123 world
box. Do I also need a conversion kit for the KA-650 or is the CPU with
connectors hiding behind this metal facade?

Sounds like you plug the console cable directly into the KA650 which makes
since, as I believe the board is intended to go into a BA213. One thing to
remember is that you'll need different RAM than is used with the KA630.
