...
 I've heard its possible to "upgrade" a
uVAX II to a uVAX III by replacing
the KA-630 with the KA-650 CPU. Now I've looked at a KA-650 and it has a
metal cover over its end and a small RJ-xx like plug in it. The KA-630 has
two IDC connectors that go to the 630CNF console plug in the BA123 world
box. 
If you try to use the BA123 again, simply use the 630 cnf console. If you
remove the metal cover from the ka650, you see the flat ribbon connectors
for it.

I use here some of my KA650 in BA23 & BA123 enclosures.

...
  Do I also need a conversion kit for the KA-650 or is
the CPU with
connectors hiding behind this metal facade? 

No.

Have fun,
emanuel
