I had a couple of SMS boxes in my warehouse that had hard drive and a floppy
drive and I think a 4 slot qbus backplane. One had 8 inch drives and the other
5 1/4 inch drives. When I got them I think they had 11/23+ CPUs. They were
19" rackmount and about 5 inches tall. Fairly deep as thery were designed for 8
inch drives in front with the cardcage in back. I think you could put an 11/73
card in one.
Zane, did you buy those from me years ago? They sold in one of my final
warehouse sales.

Yes, I got these, but sold them after being contacted by someone that
needed them. They were a 2 or 3U rackmount, so basically they're the
samme size as a BA23. Nice enough systems, but a bit of a pain as
the disk and I/O was all proprietary SMS off of the Q-Bus. Since
they used MFM HD's they're not something I'd really recommend.
