Murphy was historically the mainframe that powered UCC.
It ran on the Alpha Micro architecture and 8" floppy disks were used for data storage and software.
Pre-UCC history
Unknown.
UCC machine history
Unknown. The wooden box was not in UCC until after 1984, and the blue case was present before 1983.
Future plans for the machine(s)
Unknown. Probably the club will try to get rid of the blue case (sell it somehow?) and the other Alpha Micro will hopefully be put on display somewhere.

Thanks so far to [JVP] for being old and knowing something about this.
