Like a weird 3 backplane rack box, each backplane roughly the size of the one from a BA23. And there's a VT103 (incl. Qbus) that I'm not sure of... Hopefully your friend has these in some nice BA-series boxes of some kind. To my mind the hardest part is getting the cables for this. I've been keeping my eyes open here in the States, and only just a short time ago got two. The seller thought (understandably) they were a strange type of SCSI cable and listed them as such. Thank goodness for the pictures on eBay... ;^) Ooof! I wouldn't want to move "real computers" every three to six months... A woman of such sophistication and refined taste is clearly a keeper. Make concessions, write a permanent To-Do item for some flowers, or whatever else is necessary... --S.
