Since we never stuffed our BA23s into the pedestal "sleeve", I would
have responded that the BA23 is rack-mount and the BA123 is a pedestal
case, but am reminded by this post that some people _did_ stick a BA23
on its side.
For those that _don't_ know, you can slide the BA23 out of that tall,
skinny, plastic case and rack it. We had a DEC-made rack shelf with
some sort of friction-reducing tape front-to-back where the BA23 would
slide over it (as opposed to slide rails bolted on the side of the
BA232), but one could easily just cobble together some angle-bracket
or put the BA23 on a flat shelf. ISTR there's a set of small
removable faceplate brackets on either side of the BA23 that might be
installed for rack use and removed for pedestal use, but it's been a
while since I took a BA23 apart and I could easily be mistaken.

Which one is the BA123 chassis? The short fat one or the tall skinny one?
The BA123 'world box' is the short fat one, the tall skinny one being the
BA23.
