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 (talkcontribs) 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

[edit]

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.
