- Simple questions:
-
- My sister-in-law's accounting firm is getting rid of a Burroughs 9000
- system (2 HD, streaming tape, 6 tubes, printer) and I have been asked
- if I might want it. Hence, a couple of questions:
-
- 1) What is a Burroughs 9000 anyway?
-
- 2) What does it run?
-
- 3) Is there anything I might want to scavenge off of it?
- (disks, tape, etc.)
-
- Responses by mail welcome and appreciated.
