Nope, the cab kit on the BA123 (and BA23) is incompatible with the one
on the KA640 and KA660. One could kludge something together perhaps. In
this case the "Sbox" handles are actually a separate cab kit that plugs
into the CPU card with an IDC type connector. The cab hit holds on to
the BA213 with a couple of half-twist screws.

The best you can do in a BA123 "legally" is the KA655 (MicroVAX 3+) that
does about 2.8VUPs.
