Correct, you'll fry the BA23's power supply. The KDA50's are
power-hungry beasts, which indeed was the reason for the weird
MV2-style dual-ba23-bolted-together racks. One for the system
itself, one for the KDA50.
That's how one of my RA81s showed up - 42" rack, two BA23s, drive
and lots of cables. Makes sense that it needs two power supplies
to keep it all happy.
Thanks for the reminder.
