Sold on eBay: Convergent Technologies S/50 a.k.a. Unix PC, AT&T 3B1 Unix Workstation

[Alan Perry]

As I mentioned elsewhere, I worked on software for them at Burroughs 
('86-'89). I picked up a bunch of B25 stuff in '03, but I could never 
find any software for them. In retrospect, I wish that I has stashed 
away B25 (and B1000 (I was one of the last people in the office 
supporting software on the B1000)) stuff, rather than return everything, 
when I left the company.
