Of course. Mine is set up that way - both in the same 19" rack (plus a PDP-11/05 and a DECCassette drive and other stuff I could fit it). But remember that the original correspondent at first mentioned only ONE backplane (singular), so I thought it prudent to point this out lest he connect the TU10 to the UNIBUS with heaven only knows what bad things could happen results. Once he read my note, he provided more info which did indicate he had two different backplanes. JRJ
