Of course to the hobbyist the answer is "Because they are there!" and you better get them working.  I would be better off with a DELQA, BTW will the cabinet kit from a DEQNA work with the DELQA?

I found a cabinet kit that appears to be for the BA123 and on the plate 
with the AUI connector it is labeled 'DEQNA'.  I became suspicious that 
DEC would sell the same hardware, but with the label 'DELQA', and charge 
you more, of course.  I think that I got this one because when a DEQNA 
was upgraded to a DELQA that cabinet kit was 'upgraded' also.  Ha.
