Rack housing

The room-height rack shown below was the final housing of the ORDINATOR hardware. It made the system quite unmovable.

In the right half of the rack you can see two 8" floppy drives and also the two Philips P8XX hard disks that were the original reason for choosing this housing. These hard disks were never actually connected with the ORDINATOR; instead we used the DISKSERVER hard disks that arrived in 1987.
