One of the problems I tend to find, is that an expanded BBC B setup
can become quite unwieldy, once you add one or more external
drives, co-processor boxes, etc you've lost a fair bit of kit on
your desktop.

Being able to rack mount a unit with disks can be a great space saver,
although I'd prefer to do it in a reversable way, so I can go back to
original spec if necessary.

I'm not keen on emulation, which is of course another way to go,
because
the appeal of these old systems is the old systems themselves. Thats
just my $0.02 though.
