[geeks] an interesting evening.

[Bill Bradford]

Well, I got rid of the 11/60 and related stuff today, kept a few bits
for myself and Dave McG, and acquired something I'd been looking for
for a while, a "shorty" rack.  The one I ended up with was PERFECT:

http://images.sunhelp.org/rack

It had a PDP-11/23 and an RX01 in it; those are now sitting on my
"workbench" in the garage waiting to be cleaned and dissasembled.
I spent about an hour taking un-needed bits and pieces out of the 
rack, clip nuts, screws, etc, then took the PDU (aw yeah, big 
"throw this switch" power switch, big orange "power OK" light,
and 4 "internal" power outlets).  So, I've got one (big thick)
power cable going from the rack's PDU to a UPS, then two power
strips connected to it internally to power the swich and the
bricks for the cablemodem and gateway router, as well as the
SB100 and the U60.

Now I just need a couple of rackmount shelves so I can put everything
IN the rack instead of on top of it (except for the SB100, which will
stay on top.. the U60 is just the file/compute server).
