I don't know if this memoir is well-known or not, but I thought it
might interest.

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.

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).
