| | Unisys History Newsletter v3n5 |
 | | 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. |

| | When the behemoth computers of the 1950s appeared, they moved aggressively into that field as well and was considered by many to have products far superior to their competitors. | | | Both of these workhorse backoffice calculators would eventually be displaced, first by tabulators and finally by the widespread use of computers. | | | However, the market dominance by IBM in mainframe computers would lead Burroughs to merge with Sperry Rand as UNISYS Corp in 1986. |
