Yes. When I got a small load of PDP-11/03s from Ohio State, they
were all in those. I'm still using them for PDP-11s (RX01 + BA11N),
but I'm contemplating sticking a couple of RL02s in one so I can roll
them around and put them on whatever needs them at the moment.

I've never seen many of them, that's for sure. Mostly, for "office"
use, I've seen the 42" cabs. We had a satellite office with a
VAX 11/730 and a PDP-11/24 for e-mail/word processing and accounting,
respectively in the 42" racks. On a tangent, someone hacked that 11/24
between the time we removed the financial packs and the day we closed that
office. I went out there to power it down and uncable it and there was 6"
of login failures in console paper behind the LA-36. They started on a
Friday and finally guessed a password about 05:30 on Monday. It didn't
gain them much - I think the logs were only a few hours old when I brought
it down for the last time.
