Similarly, the AT&T 3B4000 Computer, growable to >40MIPs capacity
(using the usual Marketing type MIPs :-) has the same sort of
environmental requirements as the 3B2 does.  It does not need a raised
floor (we just had one on display on a quarry tile floor) and will keep
running at temperatures human beings consider uncomfortable (I am not
sure off the top of my head what the advertised specs are).  It runs
off 110vac, though it needs a bit more current than a table lamp (and
can be had in 250vac 50Hz versions for customers outside the USA).
