I spent the weekend scanning and taking pictures of what I was able to
find on the NGEN/Burroughs B2x systems, now up under
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/convergent
There are a few things in particular on the wanted list, mainly hardware
docs. I'm hoping another list member will scan the system documentation
that he has.
I'm also working on trying to understand how to make a bootable floppy
from a running 10mb system.
It was interesting to see how the Xerox XDE development envronment influenced
CTOS. File naming conventions are pretty much the same as in XDE, for
example.
