It may not NEED 3 phase. It probably has several PSUs and they may be wired to different
phases or you may be able to connect them all together on one phase (but the current
requirement will go up). That's the way my friend's BIG SGI was connected. We
rewired it for single phase and it works just fine except that it now rated at 90 Amps
input or nearly as much as a house!

This looks like a VAX 6000-610 in Wales (UK).
No bids so far. There's a VAX 4000 of some sort
available too.
Noted. Possible that the museum *may* be interested in it - we'll need a
proper 3 phase supply for a few things at some point anyway, so that's
not much of a big deal. I'm actually surprised it needs 3 phase
actually; most things that sort of size don't.
