tmoran asks

"  Has anyone ever published a genealogy of CPU architectures?  My
impression has always been that the Intel, or West Coast, architecture
derived from HP which derived from Burroughs.  The 'display' would seem
to follow that.  (As opposed to the Dec/C/East Coast architecture ;)"

There is a fairly complete history of the designb of Intel architectures
in my book on microprocessors (McGraw Hill 1990). There is no HP or
Burroughs influence to speak of in these designs (at least not up 
through the 8086, it is certainly possible that someone familiar with
HP or Burroughs machines was involved later on).
