Just curious - in all the backplane photos I've seen, it appears the
fragile wire wrapping is always exposed without a cover protecting it from
other components, fallen screws and wayward fingers in the computer cabinet.
Was it ever standard practice to put a cover over these? I couldn't imagine
debugging or repairing a backplane...

I have been sorting thru a bunch of stuff in an effort to
clean the place up (Aren't we all doing that now with all
this time on our hands?) I found a backplane. It says
Digital on it but does not have an H- number. I also
don;t find it listed in any of the lists I can find on
the web.
It has 8 A-B slots and 4 C-D slots. the Four C-D are on
the bottom half of the backplane. I am assuming it is
18 bit and the C-D were intended for things like the 2
board RL controller.
Anybody familiar with this and able to identify it?
Anybody interested in it? It should fit in a USPS
Medium Flat Rate Box.
