Hi all, I worked on system software at Burroughs in the late 80s and a couple weeks ago gave a talk about Burroughs history in computers and the Large Systems/A Series/B5000 and B6500 architecture at VCF PNW. There was enough interest that I am putting together another talk or two. One of the topics is Large Systems MCP and I am looking for other people who worked with it to give their own perspective and confirm things I am trying to remember from 40 years ago.
BTW, if you haven’t seen it, the trove of Burroughs documents in the bitsavers Burroughs collection on the Internet Archives is amazing. Unfortunately I still can’t find any documentation for most of the stuff that I worked on. I should have kept copies of those manuals when I left. alan
