There is an awesome B205 page at the University of
Virginia, plus
a pretty cool B5000 page nearby. Here's the URL:
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/brochure/images/manuals
Be warned - the pages contain some mighty large images! Skip using the
classic modems for this one, guys, better have at least a T1.
It looks like they scanned in the original manuals for
these beasties,
instead of just retyping them. Seeing the originals really adds to
the presentation, IMHO. And the B205 was _so_ cool - magnetic drum
as main memory! Those were the days.
I still have no idea what the machine(s) is that I am inquiring about. I
would really doubt it would be a super goodie like a B205 or B5000, but
sometimes these oldies show up (like the IBM 7094 I recently missed, or
the LINC that has just been found).
