Hi all,
I worked on system software at Burroughs in the late 80s and a couple weeks ago gave a
talk about Burroughs history in computers and the Large Systems/A Series/B5000 and B6500
architecture at VCF PNW. There was enough interest that I am putting together another talk
or two. One of the topics is Large Systems MCP and I am looking for other people who
worked with it to give their own perspective and confirm things I am trying to remember
from 40 years ago.
BTW, if you haven’t seen it, the trove of Burroughs documents in the bitsavers Burroughs
collection on the Internet Archives is amazing. Unfortunately I still can’t find any
documentation for most of the stuff that I worked on. I should have kept copies of those
manuals when I left.
