Interestingly (or not), there are enclosures for series 7 drives
that hold 4 of them and fit in exactly the same racking as DEC
reserved for the 9 series drives.  You could mix and match
both in the same cabinet with no change in brackets.

As discovered with the RA90 fitting in a SF200 rack.
DEC must have thought this out pretty well, but Wikipedia 
actually credits the RA9 series for wrecking the company.
