 The owner has contacted me to tell me that no one's
stepped up for 
this system yet.  Hard to believe that there's no interest in one of 
these.

It'd be a shame to see it scrapped; it is a bit on the large and heavy side,
but a fairly rare example of an unusual style/configuration. Wonder if
it has a hard disk drive (14" 5MB platters) or line printer.

But as mentioned elsewhere, the diskettes are perhaps even more important,
depending on what's on 'em, and also any manuals. 

Is the one at MARCH actually running?

I'm pretty sure I reformatted all my B80 disks and tossed my manuals
long ago, but ya never know; I'll keep my eyes out.

 --- I have an old Burroughs B80 in a building I own. It seems to have
 all the parts, there is a printer and some floppys. I am interested in
 selling it to a collector perhaps, or a museum. Any idea what it's
 worth? Or other ideas where I could sell or get rid of it?

 I'm located in NJ.
