Hmmmmm... <memory address error: error 404: stack overflow>  I  don't 
remember the model number, I didn't do much work on the punch &  reader. That was 
the purview of the systems FE's and I was BMG. But it looked  like this:



Wasn't the 205 a disk drive?

Mike!   what console  machine?  the flexowriter  console on the Burroughs  
205 <grin!>
 
We ended up  with all Jack Aldridge's   stuff   ( service  for Burroughs at 
about the time of the electrodata  changeover  he was in Pasadena  and  phx 
  both)    and any way there are a few  reels  I  remember of the blue 
mylar in  his  stash....  we   own  our  Burroughs  collection to his 
hoarding....

In  the "olden days" when I worked for Burroughs, we used to punch all of 
our  MTR tapes (and copies of some customer tapes) on the blue Mylar 
reinforced  paper tape, and I don't recall the Mylar tape causing a problem with our 
 punch. Is there that much of a difference between the punch on our L2000  
and a teletype punch?
