The BA213 is a 'DEC standard' 19" rack of (let's see...) 1 meter high
(excluding wheels). My PDP11/03 is in almost the same sort of
rack, just a bit smaller.
White/cream front, black metal side-plates with a white/cream edge around
them.
The top is used by the RA82 and the bottom part contains the QBUS
chassis, which also contains space for the (standard) TK70 and 2 (optional)
RA70's
The QBUS boards are accessed from the front and inserted vertically.
If required I can try to have some stuff scanned in..
> o Power rating of the BA213 .
According to the label is rack has a rating of 220/240V @5.9A
The RA82 sucks 4A of that, so the QBUS chassis is rated at 1.9A
(no labels on the QBUS part..)

The RA82 (which I believe is standard on the 3600) occupies the entire
top of the rack.
At the rear it's quite empty, because the QBUS chassis is not very deep,
unlike the RA82..

Yup. Just no disk(s)

I _think_ the 3500 was in a BA123 case, so a tad smaller..
Bye Arno.
