Mythical? I've probably seen more BA23s with a
6-button panel than
without, and both my BA23s have 6-button panels.
Most of the BA23's I ran into over the years had the
plain old (white) 4-button panels, and occasionally
the (black) 4-button panels. Some had guards around
some of the buttons to prevent accidental fat-fingering.
If I needed more than 2 drives, I just soldered resistors
onto the back of the 4-button panel. Granted, the extra drives
were always write-enabled and ready, but how many people
really make their drives read-only?
I much prefer the 10-button BA123 chassis anyway. ;-)
