Add Burroughs to the search. There's even a spamnet-news group for
BTOS/CTOS. I was subscribed for a while, most of hte traffic dealt with the
later hardware, but the B25 & B26 stuff was mentioned from time to time.

I had the CPU box alone, but never managed to find anything else so I
donated it to Merle.
