OK. I don't have the sliding rails but I don't miss them on the BA213.

It leaves enough space to mount my other "big" rack equipment (BA23,
Cipher F880 9 track tape and two 9" NEC D2363 SMD disks) below the
BA213. All the not so deep stuff like hub, DELNI, terminalserver, power
distribution box, ... is mounted in the back of the rack behind the
BA213. I like this. The front for operating the machines and the back
for wiring it all together.
