Hi Gunthar,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the only way to upgrade the
4000/200 to a 4000/705a is to replace the backplane in the chassis. The
4000/300 and above only run in the BA430 chassis (whereas the 4000/200
could run in the BA213 and BA215)
Sometimes a /300 has the faster backplane, all /400's and above do.

Hi,
I told you I got that VAX 4000-200 (not quite in my hands yet but
soon.) But I really want to make it the fastest VAX around, i.e.
that would be a -700 or something, right? Is such upgrade done
simply by replacing the CPU blade? Or is there anything different
about the Q-bus, PSU or whatnot?
