There are a couple of B5500 emulators out there. One I have worked with
is pretty much fully functional, but I believe there are more than one.
B5500 System Tapes are also available online. Contact me if you need
links - might take me a few minutes to hunt them down.

This thread has been truly enlightening. I had no
idea that UniSys had
hobbyist versions of both their Univac and Burroughs stuff available.
I'm very happy to find that MCP Express is available to hobbyists. I
currently know very little about Burroughs mainframes. I've searched
several times in the past for Burroughs emulators.
I found a nice series of blog posts on getting started with MCP Express:

I read most of the posts last night, and received my MCP Express download
link this morning. I'll download and install it as soon as I get home this
evening.
