Re: Heads Up - R93 is a Hard Dimension (operator console)
I don't have anything to help you about going about actually building a console, however I do have a thought regarding your laptop. What if you set the on a slope so that the DEPTH of it was shortened? If the laptop is only half an inch longer than the allowed depth then it probably wouldn't need to be a very steep angle to make the console still under 12". Note that the rule nor the Q&A does not say that the LAPTOP cannot exceed 12" but that the OPERATOR CONSOLE cannot exceed 12".

Hope this helps.
