Hmm... I did not know they put the 11/83 in a BA123. It makes sense
since, as you say, there's room for storage devices and plenty of
slots.
The first BA123 system I ever saw was a KA630/uVAX-II in 1986. We put
Ultrix T-2.0 on it and ran it for several years.

Mine are all
BA23. Wasn't the BA123 for the MicroVAX?
No, it was introduced for the microPDP-11 series, and only later used
for MicroVAX and MicroVAX-II. There are many microPDP-11/83 machines in
BA123 cabinets, it was a very popular option because of the space for
storage devices and the extra backplane slots.
