Those were wonderful boxen; I used the originals (Convergent Technologies
AWS and IWS, plus the original of the B25, the CT NGen) - Dad was _the_
go-to guy for support when a CT customer needed assistance on-site,
anywhere in the world - he got to visit Egypt, Australia, Pakistan,
Singapore, and I don't really recall where else). I worked for some small
companies in NYC that bought direct from CT for their own use rather than
as OEMs, but when I had questions, Dad had answers.

Interesting that Burroughs did that; the original mononchrome boxen from CT
were green phosphor.
