[SunRescue] Third party VME chassis and the 4/600

[fernande at internet1.net]

I have been thinking about doing that, although, I would try and hunt up
an old chassis :-)  I would do it mainly for economics.  Shipping a
670MP is way expensive!!  I would of course Sunotize the chassis, but
admit that it would probably lack a little of the Sun character that the
original case has.

I had assumed installing the Sun boards in any old VME chassis would
work, but now that someone mentions it, will it work??
