The Burroughs B5900 and E-Mode

[Alan Perry]

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).
