Ian.joyner (talk | contribs) Undid revision It is not true that B6000 was a separate or radically different product line from B5000. The architecture was the same but with some enhancements. The implementation technology might have been very different. Chatul might be thinking of the B1000 or B2/3/4000 product lines. Please provide reasoning behind the comments. |
Guy Harris (talk | contribs) →B5000: Mention all three models in the section header, and link the list of models to Burroughs Large Systems#B5000, B5500, and B5700. Mention the word length and the flag bit, and give references. |
