Yes with access space it adds up. So I'm not the

As an idea, I've put a picture of the layout for the 360/30 at:

(Note: This was in 1981 or so, it's long gone as far as I know)
The scale is two large squares to 1m; the room is about 3.5m x 8m
(300sqft).
You can see where the access doors open, and also where the logic gates
swing out from the 2030 and 2841. The smaller blocks are the drives,
and there is also a disk pack storage rack.
The space at the bottom was eventually taken up by the printer and card
reader, as well as a fourth 2311 drive.
I'm packing for my trip to VCF9, so see you there!
