Yup...at Digex in 1993, we coined the "3/270", which is a 3/260 with its
wheels removed placed on a wooden shelf in a rack. :) But more
properly, a x/x80 is a cube-shaped 12-slot rackmount chassis.
How similar are the 3/470 and 3/480 chassis ? the 470 is a large
'cube' deskside.... the 480 rackmount.... but wonder how similar
they were in construction... I don't recall the 480 using the two
(long) drive carriers that the 470 used... so they probably were
different.
I'd personally like to find a X/X60 in nice shape.... I've got a
X/X50 and a few X/X10 chassis.... but not one of the old brown
desksides. A 4/260 badged one would be ideal... but I'd love to
find any of those. (I've got the original drives (300M ESDI) and
bridge controllers... a tape drive and MD21 bridge... and I think
I even have a bracket or two from the insides.... (I stripped the
drives and bridge controllers out of 2-3 of these years ago).

Missing
the top cover on a Sum 3-280 desk side. Also missing
6 fillers for the open slots. Anyone have spares they would sell

eh... 3/280 is a full rack system....
deskside would be 3/260, no ?
