WHY was the power switch at the back? (I loved the PS/2 bellcrank
linkage to put a power switch at the front with a long rod to the
back!)
I don't know. On my bench I use a 4U rackmount enclosure, which is a
tad better in that it's easy to get into (lift the lid) and USB is on
the front, though I wish that PS/2 mouse and keyboard were also.
Front-terminated video and sound wouldn't be too bad either.
In today's "soft power switch" world, you're lucky if there's a
mains
disconnect switch on the power supply at all.
