There are pictures and info out there, but they
came in various quite different configurations; if
it's the 4.5 or 9MB disk drive and the line
printer this could indeed be a little large for
your apartment.
Many fond memories of programming these babies (in
COBOL!)

Subject: Re: Burroughs B 80 in England, Available
Something tells me it won't fit in my apartment
in Belgium :( I'll keep an
ear out. I can't seem to find any pictures of
these machines, and there is
only one doc on bitsavers.

Received the following from my web site:

Contacted the guy, he said he was from
Oxfordshire/Berkshire border in
England (I presume). He is looking to sell for
at least scrap value.
Contact me if you're interested and I will
forward your info to the guy,
his name is Brian..
NOTE: I helped rescue a similar unit from a
Jewelry store a few years ago,
they're heavy suckers.
