Emulated Control store

I was one of the CPU designers for the B1965. The machine had no real "control store" in the normal sense of the word. It had a main memory, and an instruction cache on later models and the "micro-ops" were stored in the main memory along with interpreters, the OS (MCP), and user data/programs. The software stack "emulated" the writeable control store in main memory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ka6s (talk • contribs) 19:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CML versus CTL in B1700 series

I apparently am the one that added the CML comment. I was wrong. Burroughs did use CML in the BCML family of logic in some x800 series machines in medium/large systems, but never in the small systems. The logic family was called CTL and was similar to ECL.

End of B1000 Software Development

The article says that software development continued until 1987. I worked for Burroughs/Unisys in Santa Ana and Lake Forest from 1986-89. Among the products that I owned was S/S GEMCOS and HostLink and worked on them at least into 1988. However, I think I was the last person working on B1000 in Lake Forest.
