We mounted four out of the five drives this way; the fifth was a
full-height drive, which we simply put in another enclosure the normal
way.
I will call R^2 tomorrow to request an advance swap for ronald-ann
SCSI ID 4 and a fourth fan.

Now that the tape rack is gone, I was thinking of putting a table
roughly where charon's cart is, perpendicular to www's table. It
could house reynelda and (after charon goes away) bloom-picayune,
freeing up space for us to stop stacking ronald-ann and rosebud
(possibly scamming a VRC-16 from the Decstations which are going away
this summer).
Alternatively, we could buy a rack and some serial console switchers,
which would significantly reduce our machine room footprint. I have
no strong preference.
