The H95xx/H96xx series of cabinets and accessories from DEC is a flexible modular system for housing computers and peripherals; the internal width gear-mounting dimension was generally 19", an industry-wide standard width for rack-mounted gear.
Benefits for collectors of DEC hardware:
- The versatile H95xx/H96xx series of cabinets allows to take cabinets built for a specific hardware and transform them for another devices as long as the base cabinet type (see below) is the same.
- In my collection I use a 70-20031 cabinet frame assembly (same construction as an H9642) originally made for an HSC70 to house one of my RL02 drives, two MicroVAXen and a PDP-11/73.
- If you are looking for missing parts for your DEC cabinet, there are likely many other cabinets that use the same part, so there is a greater chance of getting the item you want.
DEC H96xx Cabinet Basic Models
There are more than 10 basic models with a variety of variants both for specific DEC computers and peripherals as well as for general purpose use (“CROSS PRODUCTS”).
