The plastic pieces for the BA23 you are looking for are purely
cosmetical. It can say MicroVAX I just as well as PDP-11/93. It won't
make a difference to the computer inside. And the larger covers are also
more for cosmetic reason than anything else. Although it might always be
nice to cover the hardisk so people don't go around and kick it. :-)
And the cabkit for the 11/93 is *only* for the panel at the back. The
panel at the front is generic, and the same for all computers in a BA23.
And yes, the 11/93 boards can be upgraded to 4 Meg. You just need to
find the chips, which might start to be a little tricky, but talk with
used chip dealers.
I've done this myself on several boards...

If anyone knows the part numbers for the KDJ11 CABKIT or front/rear
plastic panels for the BA23 that would help me contact suppliers.
You know, Google is really simple to use...
A quick search on "pdp-11/93 cabkit" gave me CK-KDJ1E-KA.
Found, for instance, on

You can probably find information on all other stuff you are looking for
by using Google as well. However, finding the actual items might be
another story.
