Burroughs TD-700? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

  The TD-800 were CRT based terminals some based on 6800
micros others on
 8086 (yes indeed) Burroughs claimed that they were the first to use the
 8086 processor and helped Intel debug it. When the IBM PC came out
 Burroughs were using substantially more powerful hardware just as dumb
 terminals.  
One of the fun things about the TD-800 was that it was possible to read
and write the micro's memory. I wrote a Cobol program (the only programming
language I had) on a B800 to let me monkey about with the TD-800's
innards. The ones I was using had a 6800 in them.
