These panels are included on some MVII BA23 boxes, and on some MicroPDP BA23 boxes. The panel has a second write protect switch for the second disk. The cabling is the same, and the panel is easy to install. I did this once when I configured a MVII in a BA23 without a TK50, the second RD54 resided in the TK50 bay. Send mail if you need help finding the panel! -- Craig Suhadolnik craig@nwnexus.wa.com 206/487-3616
