As I remember, when I got the DELQA upgrade kits for my two
VaxStation IIs, there were no new cab kits. Or maybe there was a bit
of documentation saying that it didn't matter whether you used a new
or old one.  In any case, I didn't change out the cab kits and had
no apparent problems.

Well except that Ultrix 1.2 did not recognize a card that said "I
am a DELQA running in DEQNA compatibility mode", so I had to get a
newer Ultrix.
