many of them go through Purdue's surplus lately. However, that DEFINATELY
doesn't appear to be a Zenith machine - the zenith machines I've seen are
much wider and generally bulky (at least as wide as a PC/XT/AT case, and
deeper - I noticed that when I tried putting a CGA card from one into a
PC/XT and it didn't fit :).
Hmm, my Zenith XT wasn't as wide as an IBM XT but was taller. I
wouldn't compare it to an AT, although the later 386 Zeniths I saw had a
csse comparable in size to IBM AT. It was the later 386's that were
supposed to be able to fall off of a moving truck, as I was told.
My Zenith XT has 3 drive bays, one on top of the other. I can't tell if
Sarks computer does or not.
Of course, there are also newer machines with passive backplanes, I think
JDR microdevices has sold 'the parts' for ISA and PCI (PIC/MG?) passive
backplane machines.
Do you mean those rack mount multiple computers in one case type things?
