Anyone have any idea as to where I might find some photos of the old (1980s vintage) Burroughs B81 computer system ?
The closest I have been able to find, so far, is a photo of its predecessor the Burroughs B80 - see link below. However, the B81 had some fairly significant difference from the B80, in that, the B81 had what was referred to as a "self-scan" instead of a normal CRT type monitor. The B81 had a built-in printer attached to the right side of the processor/processing cabinet. Thanks.

Yes, I have not been able to find a reference to the B81 either. But I think this is because the B81 was just a fairly minor upgrade to the B80 series. I know for a fact that it WAS a B81 because strangely enough a guy that I happened to go to high school with went to work for Burroughs and used to come down to do the on-site maintenance on the very machine that I operated. May have to look him up and see if he still has any reference materials on the B81. Thanks.
