My mind boggles.
The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that,
although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that
time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the
server. Working with Novell Inc., IT workers tracked it down by
meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The
server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

This sounds like a novel way -- pun intended -- to physically secure a
server. I suppose if you absolutely can't do without a floppy drive, etc.,
per the Orange book, this might be an acceptable alternative to help meet C2
specifications.
[Except that electronically, it is C-Through rather than C-2.
