   Yes, I don't recall the model number of that chassis.  Sridhar 
probably does.  There are a few variations of that chassis floating 
around.  I have one at home, but I'm not there so I can't go look for 
the BA-number.

   I have one of them factory-mounted in a DEC rack.  Fairly standard 
rack mount rails bolt to the sides right at the bottom.

   Yes, a 54110D/54111D/54112D.  There are some other high-end HP 
goodies in there too, see my other email.
