Later, somewhere around 1989, they introduced the

I vagely remember that the 2200 line was called the "A-series", as
there was also a "B-series" as a result of the merger of SPERRY and
BURROUGHS to the new UNISYS.
But, I am not sure. I left that company (and fine 1100) in 1990 ...

I'm not sure 100% sure either, but I recall differently (but only from
reading). The 2200 was the Sperry's mainframe contribution to Unisys.
The A-Series was from the Burroughs side.
I don't remember hearing about any "B-Series". Do you mean the systems
that ran Btos..... I think that's what it was called. I don't think
they were mainframe class, but I'm not sure on that either :-)
