Burroughs B20
The B20 was a line of microcomputers from Burroughs Corporation. The systems, introduced in 1982, consist of two models, the B21 and the B22.[1] The B20 computers were rebadged Convergent Technologies AWS workstations incorporating an Intel 8086 CPU. They ran the BTOS operating system, which was a version of Convergent's CTOS OS, as well as CP/M and MS-DOS.[2]
