Manbo - UCC Wiki

 1. an ocean sunfish; a sunfish; a headfish

How/where the machine was obtained

Manbo was donated by ERG, gratis, just in time for Christmas 2004
Some UCCans and a van transported it to the UCC and hauled it up the stairs
...and hauled back downstairs to http://www.aceware.com.au/acms/, as of 2013-11-10

Arrived upstairs and began taking up a significant amount of space in the clubroom. The Fresher Rep ([DAA]) exclaims "what the heck is that?!"
A more conventional, non-three-phase power plug was attached (it only drew 5.5A, anyway) and it was booted and installed.

Finally moved into the machine room (after rearranging the machine room)

Impressive disk array was converted into the new /services, retiring meito
Tape changer (purchased from UCS) was installed in the top part because, according to [DAA], [JCF] and [DAG], "there's loads of space in here!"
A Sun E4000 was purchased to provide us with additional CPU cards and power modules
An additional 11 GiB of RAM was purchased, and brought over from the USA by [MSH]
A grant from Linux Australia allowed us to buy 14 400MHz CPUs and other sundries
Gone to http://www.aceware.com.au/acms/ now
