I'm not sure 100% sure either, but I recall differently (but only from
reading). The 2200 was the Sperry's mainframe contribution to Unisys.
The A-Series was from the Burroughs side.

I don't remember hearing about any "B-Series". Do you mean the systems
that ran Btos..... I think that's what it was called. I don't think
they were mainframe class, but I'm not sure on that either :-)
