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. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
