It has the 18 bit Q/CD backplane, I have another 22 bit Q22/CD backplane in the closet here, holding a bunch of cards.

Anyone got the little short 9270 or whatever it was that had the power supply and 4 full slots of Q18 (or maybe Q16. Hm. I wonder if I ever ran an 11/23 in it). That would suit my needs, then I could let this guy go.

Chris,

I honestly have no idea. Does yours have the 8-slot H9278 backplane?
My 11/23+ uses a 9-slot H9276 Q/CD backplane. I don't believe H9276 will fit in an 11/03 box though.

I once tried to get an 11/23 up and running using an H9278. It worked fine until I plugged in the RQDX3 board. I probably missed something in my reading but it seemed like it should work. The RQDX3 died though.

I still have that H9278 in a box, but I don't plan to use it. If anyone wants it...

    Always tricky: I have one in the shed, use it occasionally when I
    want
    to say fire up an 11/03 with the WCS11, not sure if that combo would
    work in a BA23 Q22 type backplane.

    Does the 11/03 quad work in a BA23's Q22/Q22 slots? Will it blow
    up if
    half of it is in a Q22/CD slot?
