I worked for Ferranti at the time; we had a site in Cwmbran which was
the software engineering & research part (from our point of view,
what we'd now call toolchain and driver developers).

The Cwmbran team had I think 7 R1000s. This was (according to a rumour)
because they weren't happy with Rational's CMVC (Configuration
Management & Version Control) and insisted on implementing their own on
top of it, so needed more machines than Rational would have thought
necessary. Good for Rational's bottom line, of course.
