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
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.
Cheers,
Bill.

Be warned - the pages contain some mighty large images! Skip using the
classic modems for this one, guys, better have at least a T1.

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).
