I picked up my B25, B26 and B38 today. They also came with a third-party data
storage system with a relatively large disk and a bernoulli drive (plus
disks/cartridges for the bernoulli). Just have to figure out how I am getting
everything from CT back to Seattle.
I would love the docs and s/w and would be willing to pay shipping. However,
the hardware would be a pain to send as well (though, as much as I dislike the
earlier B20 machines compared to the later ones, a B21 would make my collection
more complete) and I am sure whoever gets the h/w would also like the s/w.

Hi folks,
Alan Perry's message about Burroughs stuff has reminded me I've got loads of
it here that I'd like to keep but there's just too much of it and it doesn't
fit in the museum's ethos, so it's available free to a good home, UK only
and collection preferred from the Newcastle area. Of course I don't mind
shipping as long as full shipping costs are paid by the interested party,
though I imagine they'd not be far short of 'an arm and a leg' :)
Rough list:
B21 workstation, working and tested.
B21 workstation believed to be broken but I've not taken it out of its box
since it was sent here a couple of years ago.
Full BTOS doc set including languages and compilers.
Boxes of floppies including a couple of BTOS distros.
Spare motherboard
Spare hard drive
Might be other bits lurking in there!
Someone here will undoubtedly get more use out of them than I will....
Ade? Fancy putting 'em in yer warehouse? :o)
cheers
