11/73 into 11/03 chassis?

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I have an  11/73  card in one of  my video editing  systems...
does this mean I can give my H-11 more balls?

OK,  now that I know what I'm looking for, my target options here  are:

Chassis:
BA11-N and "OBA11-R" (an expansion  box)

Backplanes currently in these chassis are:
H9273 and  H9273-A

Power supplies are all H786.

So, since grafting in the Micro backplane would  involve butcher work, I'm
now wholeheartedly convinced that I should be  moving to your setup with the
BA11-N/S boxes, Noel.  And I'm sold on  the Q-22 backplane conversion
(despite failing the first time I tried it  years ago).  Going to study what
prints I have, review previous advice  and go for it.

Thank you for all the tips and  hand-holding!
