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.

You're right, the machine I owned is the one I see from your link. The workstation you mentioned is in the same box but with a monitor and the location of the clips and led slightly different. But I was not far ;-) I don't remember what kind of hardware was exactly in this machine. Shame on me, I got rid of it, it was the pre-internet era, I had no hope to repair and reinstall this machine, it would be different today: - /

Are you sure?

The B20, B21, B22 looked like this - http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102662660 - and nothing like the 3B1 or the S/50. The B25 and subsequent models (which are often referred to as B20s) are modular systems that are box-shaped and got wider as "slices" were added. The B20s were x86-based and the 3B1 (and presumably the CT S/50) was 68k-based.

It's interesting, I had exactly the same machine a long time ago, but with a different label. It was a Burroughs B20 distributed by Unisys

Did it happen to be one of these older-style Convergent AWS machines?
