Well - my wife says I can't bid on it :-(

I helped bring the machine into manufacturing! (Hi Hans...) It was the
first TTL machine Burroughs made, and is built out of basic 74S series
stuff and proms. I joined the company as they were bringing up the etch
card version of this machine. My first job was to get all the etch cards
debugged.

If anyone buys the beast here in San Jose - I would love to help get it
working. Al has my notebook on the follow-up machine, the B1965 that
was the basis for the Field service manual for the B1965. Some of the
cards are common!

P.S. Al - is the Computer History Museum ever going to be interested in
resurecting the B1955 they have??
