== Hardware == The Phoenix system was an [[IBM System/370|IBM 370/165]]. It was made available for test purposes to 20 selected users, via consoles in the public console room, in February 1973. The following month, the Computing Service petitioned the Computer Board for an extra [[mebibyte]] of [[Random Access Memory|store]], to double the amount of storage that the machine had. The petition was accepted and the extra store was delivered in September 1973.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=University of Cambridge Computing Service|url=http://lijohn.org./cs/newsletter/2003/nl215/general.html|title=Newsletter #215|year=2003}}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
