My Data General 6025? 9 track drive is intended to rack-mount. In fact, I
pulled it from an MV9000 machine. It is easily man-portable but doesn't
have an enclosure per se. It sits neatly inside a cheap pressboard printer
stand I have with plenty of room for tapes etc. Of course this particular
unit is limited to 7" tapes.
