It runs a real operating system. Perhaps not one overly familiar to
you, but one that rivals anything on the market today. You might want
to get a book called "Exploring CTOS", published by Prentice Hall.

B-20 is a generic term. The first machine shipped, in 1980, used an
8086. Since then, there have been machines shipped using the 80186,
286, 386, and 486.
There's a CTOS vendor in Rochester that you might want to contact. ISD.
I don't have the address handy, but from memory the number is
716-288-1686. Ask for Tom Wallace.
