Not banned for ship engine rooms. Nothing else is as effective. My
computer room on the ship has a halon-based fire suppressant system
too. Probably redundant these days - was put in when the room was full
of DEC Vaxen, now we use a handful of Solaris/Linux machines to do the
same job. One lonely Win2K machine because it runs an app for which
thre is no linux equivalent, unfortunately.

Nope, but I have been in a mainframe room where they had those little
emergency air supplies in case the Halon was set off.

IIRC it's now banned?
