OK, now that I've found a piccie, I see the difference. It seems to
be half the vertical height of a BA440.

But if you deskin a BA440, the holes in the flanges are clearly
there to allow rackmounting - what else could they be for?

It looks like on the BA441 you need to slide out the chassis to
get at the Q-Bus devices and the console connections. The cable
wiring looks to be "fun". Do you _really_ need one of those?
Back-to-back BA440s works (or worked for me) and gives you the
same VUP-density in a rack.
