Yep.  That's what "I" was talking about.  Just a different format for
multiples that somewhat reduces the number of across-the-whole-mess cables.

I knew you had a secret agenda.  All are good reasons.  And, I agree, that
monster IIIC look is awesome.  One of my favorite photos of one (I am
pretty sure it is a IIIC) is on Kevin Lightner's Synthfool page called
something like "yonder light."  The sunlight is filling the room through
partially closed blinds and revealing the beauty of a huge Moog.  The
bottom slant cabinet actually has 4 rows of modules.  It is like two, 2-row
sections.  Looks like it is about 22  1-unit spaces wide (whatever Moog
spaces were).  One top are two same width cabinets each big enough for 1
row of modules.  Get a drool cloth before viewing.
