	Kevin P. Neal reports having a BA23-style II/GPX case:

- No. I've got a Vaxstation II/GPX case here, BA23-style.

	Is it possible this was a later, or a less common option?
	Kevin, just to check, does the box say II/GPX, or is it just
	configured as such - is it possible it came as something else
	and was upgraded?

> BA123    ( mVAX-II, VS-II, VS-II/gpx)
> BA213/14 (industrial box, Rarely found as other that factoryVAX-II)

	Would you have any specs on the BA214?

> H9642J   Rack with two ba23s (generally only configured as MicroVAX-II
>          with lots of big storage options, RA60, RA80/81/82, TU81)

	Is this the same as the '630QE' Q5?

dimensions:     66 x 106 x 92cm (WxHxD) (19" rack)
used-in:        MicroVAX II
notes:          H9642 cabinet,two BA23 units in middle, two 10" rackmount
                disk/tape units (such as RA81 and TS05), one abve and one below
		the BA23s.

	Thanks again...
