They're 5.25"... The two of them cam mounted in a rack-mount case
(length-wise), with the power supply at the back. There is room for two more
of these in the chassis. As near as I can tell, they were connected to a
Sun system of some sort. The interface connectors at the back of the chassis
are DB-50, just like what Sun used early on for SCSI connections.....
