The Philadelphia area has more Burroughs hardware in the wild than most
places, you might just shake a few things free from ex employees living in
the area, if you're lucky.

When I worked for Burroughs/Unisys, I was one of the last people working
on
software for B1000. I think I was the sole user of the B1965 at their
Lake Forest (Orange County) California office in '88-89. I was surrounded
in my cubicle by all of the disk packs for that system. My favorite systems
while at Burroughs was the B1000s.
One of those type of disk packs is up on eBay right now and I am trying
to decide
whether to buy it. It is $60 plus another $40 for shipping. Is
that too much? I almost never see Burroughs stuff, so, if I want Burroughs
stuff, I should just get it, right?
