  Nice.  I really like those 1-meter 9309-1 racks.  We only have one at
the museum, with a 9373 in it.  Our other 9370s and ES/9000s are mounted
in 1.6-meter 9309-2 racks, except for a couple that have unfortunately
been re-racked in much taller, yucky Compaq racks (not by us) to save
floor space.  I'm currently looking for 9309 racks to put them back into
a proper configuration.
