  12. So, I seem to have aquired a Burroughs B20.  Looks like it was meant
  13. to be used as a word processing system.  It's running an operating
  14. system called BTOS.
  15.  
  16. What else is there to know about this system?  Can it run any sort of
  17. "real" operating system?  Anyone have any software for it that they no
  18. longer want...?

  20. Thanks!
