Hi!
I have a lead on a computer, a Burroughs 6800, that is apparantly being
kept in a store-room and not being used. It seems I should be able to get
it if I asked. My question is - do I want it? Mostly I have limited
myself to micros, as they are small and fit my own interests, but I have
always been willing to accept larger systems. But as a result I know
nothing about Burroughs - is this thing huge, or what? Is it rare, common,
powerful or just dull? Any information would be greatly appreciated,
especially where it fits into the general history of computers.
Thanks heaps,
Adam.

In the stuff I have been getting, there is a Pertec power supply. I didn't
see a model number on it but it is large and heavy, probably about 19" x 24"
x 6" and 75 - 100 lbs. It did have some test data with it and it shows an
input of 103 - 127 VAC at 50 Hz and and outputs of +5VDC, +24 VDC, +12 VDC,
-26 VDC, and +24VDC; not sure of the maximum output current for each
voltage. While I haven't found the model number, the serial number is
410516. If anyone wants it, let me know and it is yours for shipping
costs. Thanks.
