Mylah was donated to the club in late 2009 by [FEL] (Mitch Kelly)

Notes

This machine requently eats SCSI disks. If a disk has recorded too many errors, it will continue to work until the machine reboots, and then the machine will refuse to progress in the POST until the disk is replaced. For this reason, disks with errors should be replaced as soon as possible (or just upgrade the entire machine).
