I thought the
4000-200 was designed to work in the BA123 or something
similar.
The 4k2 CPU doesn't fit into a BA123 or BA23 because a connector on
the
front of the CPU card is too high and the slots in the BA123 / BA23 are
to narrow. (Well, maybe it will fit if you mount it into the second
slot. But this leaves only one Q/CD slot for memory in case of the
BA23.) Usual for the 4k2 are the BA213 or BA215 "S-Box" style
enclosures. (BA215 is about half a BA213.) The slot with is larger in
the S-Boxes and there are special QBus cards with "S-Box handles".
But there are a few 4k2 in BA440 boxes. I suppose DEC switched from
BA213 to BA440 style boxes at the end of the 4k2 live time.
