Ok, so the obvious question is...
If I add a 2nd bay.....
1) How unobtanium are the parts necessary to bolt the two H960 racks together?
Just a few regular bolts, nothing special.
2) Can the MF11-L be present in the machine along with
the M7891 in the
BA11 (in the 2nd rack)? Can both the core and the semiconductor be used at
the same time? Or do I need to pull the core boards out of the MF11 to use
the M7891 in the BA11?
You are better off placing the memory as close to the CPU as possible. You
should be able to jumper the memories to work together. There is no reason
that I know of that you cannot use a mixture of core and MOS memory. Of
course MOS memory requires considerably less power to run, but doesn't
retain its memory when power is lost (unless it is the battery backed
variety).
