Wood, III) Newsgroups: comp.sys.att Subject: Re: Suggestions on placing a 3B2/300 into a Tower case. Message-ID: <1991Jan28.141449.15791@cbnewsj.att.com> Date: 28 Jan 91 14:14:49 GMT References: <3006@esquire.dpw.com> <38503@cup.portal.com> Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 10 The real problem with this is with the physical design of the 3B2/300 and 400 series processors. In order to use them you need access to all four sides of the processor. The front for the floppy and the tape drive; the left side for the on/off switch; the rear for the power cable and the console I/O connectors and the fans and the external disk cables; finally the right hand side is where the standard I/O bus in accesses. They finally got it right with the 600 and later machines. Joe Wood jlw@mtuxo.ATT.COM
