I once thought about making carrier frames to allow several 4501 and
4801 including 2,5" HDD into a 6U standard card carrier case.
The unfortunate thing with Soekris boards is that some mounting holes
are surounded by components which makes it hard to do with 4 spacing
units so you can just get 14 Boards into a case.
That makes it much less attraktive than 21 boards.
