I concur. I have converted a BA11-N to 22 bit, but it's a pain because
a BDV-11 or such is a 18-bit terminator, not 22-bit, and KDJ-11's are
normall found in backplanes with their own termination, not one requiring
a terminator card, i.e., a BA-23 or newer.

The usefulness of a BA123 is underappreciated when it comes to PDP-11's.
