Sorry, I was trying to correct your apparent impression that segmented architectures started with the 286. The closest to an Ada compiler I ever had for a Burroughs machine was a simple little toy one I wrote in the early 80's on a B6700, but the B5500 of course had segments over 15 years earlier. See the book by Elliot Organick for more info.
