OK.  My instinct was to suspect this, but I was unsure because I started
with a bare BA11-K and empty H765, and then located the cards and brick
regulators described in the DEC docs to determine and pick correct parts to
complete the system.

I have been using the 11/05 S in the BA11-K as a "bench" UNIBUS system for
testing UNIBUS cards, I don't intend to rack this one up.  I don't even
have a front panel bracket or cover.  The front panel is attached with two
screws laced through the rack mount holes and into the screw opening of the
two top front panel holes.  Works well enough for testing purposes.  I
loaded BASIC into core as if it were an 8K system and left the top 8K open
for other things.

My NC model has just the 8K.
