The good news is that DEC presented me with a new power harness cable
today, free of charge (or freight -- it hitched a lift with our friendly
DEC Field Service Person who was attending to a slightly malfunctioning
8550).

The bad news is that the part they gave me is P/N 17-01311-02 (ie the
part for a BA123), not -01 (the BA23 part), and no matter what contortions
I try, it physically will not reach between the connectors on the power
supply and the BA23's backplane.  I didn't think it looked quite right,
and questioned it on taking delivery (but didn't have part numbers on me
at the time, and was more concerned about the ailing VAX).

Sigh.
