Andromeda Systems (ebay)

[Shoppa, Tim]

Andromeda sold some cool Q-bus chassis with drive mountings and power supply integral. I think the one in the E-bay auction is two 3U sized cabinets either just sitting on each other or maybe screwed into each other.

One cool Andromeda product that was available for a while in the mid-90's, had power supply, room for a few 5.25" and 3.5" drives (I think by default with hot-swap caddies... that may have been just added on though), and a Q-bus chassis all in a desktop small PC-clone style case. With just two cards (a Mentec CPU with 4MB memory and serial lines + an Andromeda SCSI controller + Ethernet,  a tape drive, a floppy, and a couple hard drives) it was a neat, almost laptop-sized PDP-11 development environment. That came in really handy when I was traveling all the time.
