A redesigned Model 70 planar with 4 slots, *two* of which have the AVE extension? Where have I seen that before...
Yep, that's right! IBM Japan called and they want their 5550-T planars back:

The only difference seems to be the BIOS.
Gonna merge the two planar pages...
I'm turning Japanese, yes I'm turning Japanese, yes, I think so...

(The two planar links from the original post now lead to the same place.)

I can setup the index page in no time, but it would be nice to
have some actual content there... at least the announcement
letter(s) and maybe some photos (since the physical
construction is what makes these things unusual and interesting).
Have we ever figured out the 75x1/75x2 differences?
rack-mount vs regular desktop iirc
Having only the 7541/7542 (based on an unmodified 50Z planar), I only got to observe the 7561/7562 from a distance (Alfred Arnold has/had one, with a page of pictures). BTW, that means the 7541/7542 should be as easy to set up on the https://ardent-tool.com/7561-62/index.html page (renaming as necessary).
The 7541/7542 uses a Model 70 drive platform, with a copper trace connection coming off slot 4 to go to the re-oriented DBA-ESDI drive, effectively just like the 55SX. The PSU for the 7541/7542 is exactly the same as the 7561/7562 - there is no sidefan like the Model 70 PSU, but it has a two-pin connection for the system fan. I have a spare as of a couple of months ago when an eBay seller advertised it by FRU without knowing the system (after I told him, I felt it was worthwhile to pick one up) -
I figure that the rack-mount tray, PSU, fan assembly (there is of course a filter, but that can be shown along with the front panel), and drive platform are the "Common items" page.

Ok, as far as I know, that should be just in the rack-mount flanges and handles as differences...
The 7561 and the 7562 are identical in function and feature
capacity; however, they differ in form. The 7561 is a bench-top
system. The 7562 is designed to be installed in an industrial
19-inch rack.
How different the chassis is (if at all)? Dunno.
I assume you have the 7541 unit? Does it have
a provision for the rack-mount hardware?
abilities to be rack-mounted.How different the chassis is (if at all)? Dunno.
The pictures of Alfred's system appeared to show a desktop unit, therefore a 7561 - Yeah, there isn't many samples to work with.

I was assuming that I have a 7542 rack-mount - there are no feet on the bottom of an otherwise rack-mount case. Today I can look over both the cover and chassis - they are in different places - and start taking pictures. As far as I know, it has all
