Some time back I got a nice double bay DEC rack that
is the dark orange
color with beige trim. The top front has a slight slope to it (on one side
of the rack this slope contains the controls for the TU10).
I'm starting to suspect that the TU10 was used with an 8, and the 8 was
later upgraded to an 11, so the TM11 was added. How likely is this?
More to the point, can the 8E use a TU10, if so via what 8E modules, and is
it "historically accurate" to put a TU10 on an 8E? Or - was this a config
that was possible but so rare as to not be representative?
Can anyone shed some light on this?

DEC did sell 11's in Orange, Red, Green and Blue cabinets for a while
(to match customer decor).
I don't seem to remember the TU10 mounted in any cabinet with a top
front slope. However, I worked on very few true TU10's. (More TE10W's
TE16's and TU16's...
This does sound like some of the 8 racks. How high is it?
Five feet, Six Feet?
However, it's possible that an 8 cabinet was used as part as an upgrade.
I don't know about TU10's on an 8.
