The "Miniframe" (like all Convergent *frame systems) was based on a
Motorola CPU, not Intel, therefore it was actually functional. Its normal
operating system was Convergent's version of Unix, CTIX. It was first
cousin to the AT&T Unix PC Model 7300 and 3B1, which Convergent also
built. (And in my not in the least humble opinion, the Unix PC is _still_
one of the most aesthetically pleasing desktop systems _ever_ put on the
market).
