I don't disagree with that at all. Those of use wanting long width
horizontal multiples are having to DIY the job. I have mine nearly
finished (the mechanical part) for a 24U wide case. Of course, once the 1U
MOTM blanks are available (hint hint), one could easily make their own to
their own taste for racks too. I agree with you 100% that 1U scattered are
much better than 2U multiples. However, I just happen to think that
horizontals under the modules are even better. That's the great thing,
each can choose what suits his own needs best. All you need is a panel, a
drill, and a little time. Of course, I realize not all MOTM users are into
any diy. But, surely you guys that are building yours are.
I need some blank 1U multiples for this cursed normalling of some CVs that
Dave (the primary stooge) has got me interested in. If John B (secondary
stooge) and I can get the 317 options narrowed down to one or two....
well...
