I did obtain about 5 TC5500 consoles and a B80
back in the '80.
They were rather large for their computing power
and no software was obtainable so I scrapped them.
I still have a couple of kilo's TTL-chips from them, with
their own Burroughs legacy partnumbers.
Very rugged design though!
Maybe you could get some old "B" hardeware but
software was out of the question.

Was not
Burroughs and a few other companies noted for destroying all old
equipment
and leasing only?
