Re:
I should have realized this...I arranged the donation of a working Burroughs L9000
to the Computer History Museum a few years ago (it had been in constant use
until a month before the donation).
I don't recall the paper tape box being associated with that site, and given
the phrase "salesmen" on it (and the "strata" I found it in within my
storage),
it seems likely to be from a different L9000 site.
I found a box
of paper tape software for an unknown computer (possibly a
"L8" or "L8/9"?)
... and it's looking for a home (cost of mailing):
Those are firmware and utility tapes for Burroughs series L8000 and L9000
computers, the predecessors of the B80 and B90 series and fairly rare since Several museums have one and last I heard Bob
Rosenbloom also had an L9000,
I've started corresponding with Bob now, thanks!
If by any chance there are no other takers I'd gladly take care of them for
you and posterity.
thanks for the kind offer! If Bob declines, I'll let you know.
