11/45 progress & questions

Got the 2nd rack attached & cleaned up, as well as installed an 861C power 
control module. It's ready for the BA11 and then the other peripherals.

Of course, when I went to get about mounting the BA11, I realized I have the 
inner rails (still bolted to the BA11), but I don't have the outer rails. 
These rails look exactly (to me) like the 11/34 mounting rails, with the 
pull-forward-and-the-box-tilts-setup. I've heard these 11/34 type rails are 
unobtanium. So, does anyone have spare outer rails for those type if rails - 
or any suggestions as to other ways to rack it up? I took the inner "tilting 
rails" off the BA11 to see if any other slides I have might work (but not 
tilt of course) and the holes just don't seem to line up in any good way. 
Thoughts? I have truckloads of RA81 slides spare :>

The DL11 controller has a crystal that does odd baud rates, the only usable 
one by any of my terminals is 110 baud (I think the crystal in it is like 
408.xxxx or somesuch. I read in the docs that you can use a different 
crystal and get more "common" (and higher) baud rates. The docs tell me what 
speed crystal to get - but is this crystal something I can just order from 
jameco/digikey/whoever and plug it in? The docs sound like it is only a 
crystal swap required. Correct?

Thanks for any advice!
