PDP-8/e rack questions - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

6 Jan 2009

The 'short' rack is indeed a H950 (H950-AA). The one I have houses
curently my 11/35 config (11/35, RX02, RL02).
I'm considering to converting this rack into a GT40 setup, but I
do miss the keyboard for it (LK40).

 If I am not mistaken they are called H950. Come to think of it,
 in H960 fit *6* 10.5" high units, in an H950 fit *4* 10.5" high
 units :-)   But as said, not 100% sure that they are called H950.
 Anyway, I would love to get one "H950" here in The Netherlands! 
    I know those racks; love 'em...I've never been able to find one.
 The guy I mentioned the other day (my childhood PDP mentor who is
 working on an 8/a for a factory) had several when I used to hang out
 at his place, but that was ~1985...they are long gone.  I'll ask him
 what the part number was; he may remember.

    H950, though...I'm pretty sure that is the part number of the
 large rectangular bracket that the rear door mounts to on the rear of
 an H960.  Page 6 of the PDP-8/e Illustrated Parts Breakdown suggests
 this (see item #24, referenced on page 8).  I have one of these
 frames in my garage, from one of my racks...if I can find it, I'll
 take a look.

    The only thing I'm 100% sure about is that I've seen "H950" on a
 sticker somewhere on one of my 19" racks that looks exactly like an
 H960.
