Re: Sounds like my house
I still remember some of the details. The processor alone was about 3feet of 19" rack
Processor cage plus an OmniBus expansion cage then, most probably. We got one from the University of Wageningen, one of the agri departments. Two low-ish racks, 3ft and 4ft high, an ASR33 and a panel with several dozen BNC connectors hooked to A/D and D/A interface boards, clock signals and some digital I/O. Mounted on a cart, it had been used to monitor environmental conditions for plant growth experiments in a greenhouse. Its program was still in core after having been put aside at least 15 years earlier, and would log to the ASR puncher.
Two full height 19" racks, and just enough room to still get his bed in.
In University I raised my bed to sit over a cupboard and built a workbench in the remaining space underneath. Setups like that were fairly common, and I can easily picture a bed on top of 19" racks; a couple of years ago I've heard of someone with an 11/785 in his apartment; with his bed over it.
