Yes, that does sound like a BA123.

Okay, so it sounds like all four of the full-height drive bays are filled.
Each hard-drive should have it's own A/B cable set connected to slot 13.

That card in "slot 13" is the RQDX distribution panel.  I actually had to
go take a look inside a BA123 to remember what lived there.

The fact that the 50 pin cable from that goes nowhere is depressing.
That is the cable that I believe is connected to a half-height RQDX3
controller.  Sounds like it is missing.

This is the uVAX-II CPU (with 1Mb of on-board memory).

Sounds like an MS630-CA memory card - 8Mb in all (based on your 9Mb total
displayed upon boot).

This is likely the DZV-11 card, four serial ports.  Not so exciting.

This is likely a DHV-11 card, 8 serial ports with silo.  Much better.
But I did not see it appear on the kernel probe so it may have an
a-typical CSR setting or something.
