If anyone knows the part numbers for the KDJ11 CABKIT or front/rear
plastic panels for the BA23 that would help me contact suppliers.
You know, Google is really simple to use...
A quick search on "pdp-11/93 cabkit" gave me CK-KDJ1E-KA.
Found, for instance, on
http://www.pacificgeek.com/productdetail.asp?ID=1932313.
(in turn from http://www.pacificgeek.com/showallitems_bb_list.asp?Code=CK)
You can probably find information on all other stuff you are looking for
by using Google as well. However, finding the actual items might be
another story.
I wish you luck, though.
My aim is to run RSTS/E v10 on this machine so I am
open to
suggestions for the simplest path to this goal.
I have a SBOX CQD223A/TM SCSI card which I would be willing to swap or
sell for the QBUS variant or some other manageable RSTS/E compatible
storage device.
That is a Qbus controller, I assume you know this?
The Sbox is just a question of handles, which can be removed.

The plastic pieces for the BA23 you are looking for are purely
cosmetical. It can say MicroVAX I just as well as PDP-11/93. It won't
make a difference to the computer inside. And the larger covers are also
more for cosmetic reason than anything else. Although it might always be
nice to cover the hardisk so people don't go around and kick it. :-)
And the cabkit for the 11/93 is *only* for the panel at the back. The
panel at the front is generic, and the same for all computers in a BA23.
And yes, the 11/93 boards can be upgraded to 4 Meg. You just need to
find the chips, which might start to be a little tricky, but talk with
used chip dealers.
I've done this myself on several boards...

Does anyone know the correct term for the non-SBOX variant? was SBOX
just for VAX? I've never seen a SBOX style cabinet and this controller
was my first introduction.

Let me know if anyone has one of these or has seen one, I'm told these
may have been done by Tandon as they bought Corvus around 1987-1988 or so.
Thanks.

Heh. You'll have to beat me to it...
Seriously, though, are you sure this was ever actually manufactured? I
have a bunch of glossy sales stuff from the early 90s that shows a number
of Corvus items made of pure smoke and mirrors.
