[comp.misc] Sperry UTS40 Software

brendan@jolnet.ORPK.IL.US (Brendan Kehoe) (05/27/89)

 I salvaged  a Sperry UTS40 (w/ printer n a double 8" drive) from the bank
that my mom works at..they were about to junk it so I grabbed it.
 All I have for it is a word processor..I saw an rs232 port on the back,
sooooo I'm assuming there's some communications software available for it..
does anyone have any/know where I can get it?

Sorry, but even though it has an Rs-232 port on it, it requires a host which
uses Uniscope protocol. This a unique to Unisys (old Sperry) systems and
requires either 1100 or OS/3 systems to communicate. It is a synchronous
protocol and will not run any async protocol. At least you have a WP for it so
it is good for something besides and anchor.
