[rescue] LX & 3/80

[Ken Hansen]

Yeah, I guess those type boxes go back to the AMPRO
Z-80 and the Xerox 820 boards that literally bolted
onto either a 5 1/4" or 8" drive...

But the idea of putting "old" hardware in an "old"
case has been done (see any old computer!), but the
idea of a pair of 300 -> 450 MHz UltraSPARC CPUs, 2
Gig RAM, and dual SCSI chains with a nice Walnut
cover, that is like the modern day "Hot Rods" they are
making in CA now (modern parts, classic look)...
