The standard console on 3500  and 4700 was a 33. Burroughs  called the 
Supervisory Printer and Keyboard or SPO  


I don't know what was standard on the 5000 or 5500


The machines at the time used BCL not ASCII or EBCDIC


Can't remember if the 33 was ASCII orthere was a converter some where or  
it was a custom model that did BCL

Burroughs did use a Model 33 KSR as the console device on  the B5500
computer, but of course this one is for some Honeywell  machine.

Burroughs kept the "normal" Model 33 cover, but had their  own set of
buttons in the call control  unit.
