Systems support up to 640 KB of RAM. The B22 included a mass storage unit with a capacity of up to 60 MB.[2]
The Burroughs B25, a rebadged Convergent NGEN system with an Intel 80186 CPU, was introduced in 1983.[3] The B26 was introduced in 1984, and a B28 system followed in 1985 based on the Intel 80286 CPU.
There is also an 80186-based B27 which used an "F-bus" rather than the "X-bus" used on the B25/B26/B28.
A cluster only (no storage) 80186-based B24 was later released and commonly used by bank tellers.
