[GreenKeys] Model 35 Question

Well, either way, to clear up what I meant -- which has most assuredly
been answered by many helpful individuals -- I was wondering if there
was a M35 KSR model that didn't have a large base unit, and which --
even with some bodging -- could easily be bolted to (or simply placed
on) a small table or cabinet of some sort.


Now, I wish there was one available here in the GTA. Since I would
love to get my hands on an M35. And a tabletop version -- to some
definition of "tabletop" -- would be far easier to make use of for me
in my limited space then a "proper" one, or an ASR. ...Much as I want
a 35 ASR. Plus, I've a silly idea for a project, which would work best
with such a "tabletop" version of the 35, though it could also work
with a 33, but the 33 would look less good in the planned project.


(Project idea is mounting my -- chassisless -- H9275A QBUS backplane
in a custom wood cabinet and bolting the 35 KSR to the top of it
all... instant "steampunk" PDP-11... plus then I would finally have a
home for my H9275A!)


Cheers,
Christian
