 | | Burroughs saw the IBM 360/30 and 360/40 as the principal competition for the B2500 and B3500, so the company decided to make their i/o systems IBM-compatible by using IBM's EBCDIC data code and many IBM file structures. | | | By the early 1970s, both the large and medium Burroughs computers had inspired a high degree of loyalty among their users, who were proud of the advanced features incorporated in the Burroughs architecture. | | | When Burroughs developed successors to the B5500 and B6500, it skipped the 600 numbers (perhaps to avoid confusion with Control Data's CDC 6600 computer) and announced the 700 series in October 1970. |

| | In the minds of many of the villagers of Salem, George Burroughs was "the ringleader of them all."
