This pair of boxes is nominally the same size, somewhat
narrower than
"rack-width" and about 7" tall. They're plastic boxes with a beige
(could
be influenced by many years' cigarrette smoke) exterior and black (probably
... I haven't looked closely at them for some time.) front.
They're quite weighty. By that I mean absolutely too heavy to ship across
the planet.
Huh? The boxes you're talking about must be different than the 6 Altos
boxes I have that meet the same dimensions... they only weigh 55 or 60
pounds each.
(OB disclaimer: my standard for "heavy enough that I don't want to lift
it too often" is a DG 6045 drive or a DEC RA80 drive, about 140-150 pounds.
I used to be a puny weakling until I started collecting old computers and
drives...)
