Those *are* as old as you think, if the desktop pc portion is roughly
5x8x12, with all the hardware crammed in on vertical daughter boards... I
had one of those on my desk back in my USAF days... It was networked into
a C3 "megaframe," that sat on the floor in the hallway by our shared
receptionist's desk (she had acces to everything...).

Subject: Burroughs
Hi folks ,
And, while we're asking, does anyone know what
happened to Burroughs?
The Burroughs corporation eventually merged with
Sperry Univac and got
absorbed into Unisys
I've been lurking for a while , have a few old box's about but the
ones i'm curious to
know the rareity of are 3 Burroughs desktop type units from early 80's
they are all 3
different models one newer 85 maybe , I'd have to dig them out and check
the model
numbers if need be , they all run the "B-20" operating system and booted
and ran the
last time they were plugged in (one is a smart terminal type ala net
boot) . On a couple
occasions i've searched all over the net for information and found very
little other than
the company history stored at the Babbage institute . Are these things
as odd as I think
they are or has info and availability just managed to elude me ?
Thanks for your time
Dean.
