Maybe you met Lorrie Lee? He was at CSIRO and they had a Cyber 205 as well.
He came up to Taiwan to help me install the 205 at the Central Weather
Bureau. Funny story about him and trying to get a wrench from the local
engineers.....
CSIRO is fairly big:-)
The bloke I met then worked for Facom, about '82, Fujitsu's Australian
subsidiary.
I didn't work _for_ Facom, but I used their office and facilities,
including their access to the CSIRO M190. There was an awful ruckus on
one occasion. We (Facom+) booked some time overnight for dedicated
access. My babysitters got bored and went home, left me to it. I was
still there in the morning, at the master console, when CSIRO arrived.
Words were said, mostly not at me tho;-)
Never worked on the 6600.
Until I saw it, it was one of those mythological monsters. As I recall,
it was right next to Gandalf.
