I am not certain how to tell which model this is.
It has square control box which sit under printer.
Weighs a LOT. This is a thermal tranfer printer.
I am putting it up. I played with it a little last
week to verify that it works. Supplies will probably
be difficult to get for it, but it does come with
some. If no one wants it, I will recycle it.
If there is interest I can give detailed listing of parts.
Several paper trays, including 11 x 17.
I live NW of Chicago, IL. Pick up is probably
preferable to shipping. It weighs a LOT.

I buy old laptops on E-Bay and refurbish them for resale, a few dozen per
year. From your description, however, you professor friend should buy new.
I just sold a couple of nice Pentium III laptops from 2002 (Toshiba 2805's),
and they went for almost $200. But in my view, they are still too old to
run most "current applications", and at $200 for those, a new laptop makes
more sense than a used one.
In July I bought a brand new Gateway MT6711 at Best Buy for $499, no
rebates, straight out deal. This is a dual core Pentium laptop with a 15"
widescreen display, a 160GB hard drive, a dual layer DVD burner and a
Gigabyte of memory, with Vista Home Premium. There are a LOT of very good
laptop deals this week. I think that the deals available for $499 to $649
are good enough to make buying an older used laptop not worthwhile in terms
of value. I don't know for sure what he had in mind price wise, but he can
get a pretty nice new machine for about $500, and anything that "will run
current applications" in a way that you would want to run them will probably
be $300-$350 or more for a used machine. A machine with no warranty and
unknown history.

I would be a good thing to save. I think RSC/RI has one as well
(W.D. would know for sure)
Also, no software has been archived for this machine, so any
surviving copies would be a good thing.

Ummm, not really; they were slightly different lines, the B800 being
the smallest of the "real" computers (successor to the B700) with a
separate processor cabinet and somewhat more power, more
suited to running multiple terminals (although the console was
essentially a B80/L9000 with no innards).
The B80 (and later the B90) marked Burroughs' transition away from
ledger cards to disks (either 8" floppies or 14" cartridges as used on
the B800) and was essentially the successor and replacement of the
L series single-user integrated accounting computers.
The B80 and B800 were priced differently and aimed at slightly different
markets, although they did share some peripherals and the system
software (CMS, CANDE etc.)

Hello,
On internet I found a chat where you write about Lilbug.asm. Could you please help me to findinformation about it.
Many years ago I used to work with 6801L1 coming with LILbug monitor. Today I still have few pieces, but I no longer have any documentation about the monitor. Could you help me to find an user manual of the LILbug or more simply the list and syntax for the commands and addresses of the routines (like conversion Hexa-Ascii and so.).
In advance many thanks for your answer.
As luck would have it, after purchasing a repairable PS for my C64 on
eBay on Sunday, then I was given a TENEX MW705-D PS for the Commodore
128 on Monday. I'm curious, it has two power cables on it, one is
the 5-pin plug for the C128, the other is a 4-pin plug, what is the
4-pin plug for?
Zane

Couple of years ago, I paid around $350 for a refurbished P3 Thinkpad, directly from IBM.com ... even came with a warranty. I think Acer, Dell, Gateway, HP, and Lenovo all do the same thing on their web sites.
Please contact the person below if interested

Dear Sirs:
I have an antique one line display word processor. It is an Olivetti
TES 501. I paid $9000.00 for it in the late 70's. I would like to
give it to someone in the Concord California area. Can you help me?

What I wrote something similar I used the word "most" as I knew there was
some CP/M software that required z80. However from a business user
perspective most of the deireable and likely used software like word
preocessors, spreadsheets and databases 8080 was just fine save for
speed and the 8085 solved that. Also the 8085 was more of a bridge
than the ultimate application cpu.
