The nice thing about this list is that should you say something that's quite
wrong, it won't be but a minute or two before you find out :-).
I went and measured our 918; clearly anything that is 17.0" tall was quite
likely designed to be rackmountable.
However, let me reiterate the second part of my first response (the part that
was more correct). If the rack mounting kit is no longer available, a good
machinist could easily synthesize one in just an afternoon, for about the same
price as Glenn Dydo mentioned.
