Baydel. It's a pretty chunky box - lots of very thick steel. As an
aside, I contacted Baydel recently. They're still going, but the
guy I
emailed had just dumped the last of his PDP-11 stuff a couple of
months
before "because you can't hang on to everything..."
Ah well.
Sounds like ISS: "Incompatible Spouse Syndrome". I will keep an
eye out for those boxes; it sure does look nice and beefy.

I know
everyone probably thinks I'm nuts, but has anyone heard of
a reason
not to mount a RX02 directly over an RL02???
It does seem odd, but maybe the motor in the RX02 is a bit hashy?
I know that my PDP-11/73 (http://pdp11.kicks-ass.net) has the
RX02 at
the top of the cabinet, then the OEM processor box, then the RL02s
below. I assumed it was for weight...
