H960 rack question - ra81, 11/45 etc.

As you point out, all the 11/34 photos I have seen were in H960's. Of the
UNIBUS machines, I recall only the 11/60 in a "corporate cabinet", though I
suppose other later machines may have been in them as well.

RT-11 (without TSX) would fit comfortably on an RK05. I can't imagine
you'd need more than an RL02 even with TSX+.
