Some possible suggestions:

Serial line- likely this is a Burroughs Multidrop line - RS485 using a polled 
protocol.  Should be compatible with TD830/TD850/MT983 Burroughs terminals 
etc. 

Disk drive control was done by the CPUs - most of the drives were not terribly 
smart.

Best bet is bitsavers as you've already suggested.  I've never used a B80 
myself,  - but am an expert on B1900 stuff.
