Thanks for posting this.
Very interesting and it was fun to see names that I have not heard for
nearly 30 years. (I worked on system software for Burroughs/Unisys from
86-89.) However, it does have a couple of errors (e.g., Burroughs and
Sperry merged in 86, not 85).

The Burroughs B5900 and E-Mode
A bridge to 21st Century Computing
By Jack Allweiss Copyright 2010
My name is Jack A. Allweiss, also known as ?The Father of the B5900
System?. I did not give myself that title, my friends and co-workers
at Burroughs Corporation did, and I consider it a great honor. This
true story is about the B5900, and why it was an important milestone
for Burroughs and later Unisys, as well as the computer industry in
general.
