  Picture of one of the racks.

The system came from a company (Omincom) in York, UK, Jan 2007.

The system has two racks, the configuration is:

16 x 250MHz MIPs in each rack.

6Gb Ram first rack. The second rack is 4Gb.

MMSC Unix

Running Irix 6.5

2 ethernet, 2 SCSI, 5 serial ports and 1 LEGO media board  in each rack.

The hinv output is as follows (when running one rack):
