Ed,
 Yes, that is am L2000 (aka Mod 1) with a card punch on the left,  and a 
tape punch on the right. We had one like it at Chicago West branch,  though no 
card punch. My first training was on the L8000's and L9000's, (Mod  2's) so 
of course most of my customers had TC-730's and 750's. In fact, I was  
going through some boxes a while back and found my FE 1 & 2 cards, which  were 
used to put Mod 1's into maintenance mode. Even had the 4 pin front plane  
jumper!

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?
