Hmm - I know that lower-numbered 6000 CPU's had three-phase 208V
power supplies. At what point did they go back to single phase?

Not that a three-phase power requirement on a 6000 is a killer - they
actually don't suck very much current, so a electronic phase converter
on a dryer circuit is a *very* reasonable approach.
