Hmm... I did not know they put the 11/83 in a BA123. It makes sense
since, as you say, there's room for storage devices and plenty of
slots.
It?s going back severalteen years now but I?m pretty sure I built a Micro 73 into a BA123,
it?s a CD22 backplane after all. I still have all the cards AND the BA123 but I?m supposed
to be turning it back into the MVII it was originally, back in 1986 when it was called
FRUIT.

Mine are
all BA23. Wasn't the BA123 for the MicroVAX?
No, it was introduced for the microPDP-11 series, and only later used
for MicroVAX and MicroVAX-II. There are many microPDP-11/83 machines in
BA123 cabinets, it was a very popular option because of the space for
storage devices and the extra backplane slots.
