Burroughs B 80 in England, Available

[Mike Stein]

There are pictures and info out there, but they 
came in various quite different configurations; if 
it's the 4.5 or 9MB disk drive and the line 
printer this could indeed be a little large for 
your apartment.

Many fond memories of programming these babies (in 
COBOL!)
