Ahh, it holds 3... bettter.... I was thinking it was two.
As another thought. What about the possibility of pulling the
MVIII and ram out of my BA123 box and installing the KA660 cpu and
its ram instead? If that switch were possible, then the BA123
already has 4 drives plus tape. The question is, will that KA660
cpu and ram work correctly in the BA123 backplane? The problem
would be in the s-handle plate bits. IFF the cabkit on the BA123
would do the trick, and I am thinking there is nothing out of the
ordinary there, then that might be a nice upgrade to that box.
Anyone know if that would work?
