Alan, my apologies for the confusion here. The email subject still said
S/50, but I believe we had switched topics mid-thread.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I worked on software for them at Burroughs
('86-'89). I picked up a bunch of B25 stuff in '03, but I could never
find any software for them. In retrospect, I wish that I has stashed
away B25 (and B1000 (I was one of the last people in the office
supporting software on

Are there any better pictures around of the B20/21/22 ? If not, I think I still
have some brochures somewhere.

You're right, the machine I owned is the one I see from your link. The
workstation you mentioned is in the same box but with a monitor and the
location of the clips and led slightly different.
But I was not far ;-) I don't remember what kind of hardware was exactly
in this machine. Shame on me,
Are you sure?
The B20, B21, B22 looked like this -
http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102662660 - and
nothing like the 3B1 or the S/50. The B25 and subsequent models (which
are often referred to as B20s) are modular systems that are box-shaped
and got wider as "slices" were ad
It's interesting, I had exactly the same machine a long time ago, but
with a different label. It was a Burroughs B20 distributed by Unisys

Thank you for this, Todd! I believe I can help here, on all fronts. I
have several 3b1s, both complete and in varying stages of assembly. I'd be
glad to be the comparison on the hardware for sure. I can even donate
parts (and/or a whole 3b1) if appropriate, and would gladly do so to see

Hi AJ,
Thank you, I've been looking for 3b1s and 3b2s for a while.
I plan to eventually be able to image the disks and scan the documentation.
It will however take a while to get to that point.
I'm open to loaning media and manuals to someone who can get that done
quicker (I'm in southern NH.
dware.

Todd, thanks so much for sharing, and I'm thrilled to know that a member of
this community is where it's going.
May I ask, what are your plans for archival of the included disks and
manuals, if any?
I'd also be quite curious to see if there are any internal circuit
differences between that machin
Hi AJ (and list),
I got that one.
