I also wonder whether the three x B5500 that went to Czechoslovakia survived (another went to Moscow). After the fall of the eastern bloc it was found that a lot of older technology had survived quite well in former eastern bloc countries. I made several enquiries with people who grew up in Czech and pinged the technology museum and some academics but all drew a blank. The B5500 emulator is quite stable now. http://code.google.com/p/retro-b5500/ On Burroughs matters, Paul Kimpel has completed an outstanding emulation for the ElectroData/Burroughs B205. Tom Sawyer's blog has links to the B205 emulator and many detailed postings about this machine: http://datatron.blogspot.com.au/
