Unisys "Micro A"
Anybody know about such a system?
I took in a stray cat system a few months ago, started
parting it out, saw something interesting, then put it all
back together again. Today I booted it up (fits on 15A,
hurrah!) and determined the following:
Base system:
Intel mobo w/8MB (** 80386, sorry **)
Adaptec SCSI
OS/2 on SCSI disk
internal SCSI tape (QIC)
external SCSI tape (DAT)
VGA card
Add-Ons:
Unisys "Micro A" CPU card (perhaps DC113)
daughter memory card
two multiplexed serial cards
Another Adaptec SCSI card,
apparently for the Uni half of the system.
Another Internal SCSI drive
two external drives
Surprized it actually does stuff.
The "Micro A" system is controlled by three OS/2 Apps:
Admin, ODT 1,
and SCS (System Control Subsystem) (nice name) (huh?).
ODT 1 is a cryptic CLI system,
SCS is a boot console for the HW
Anybody got any beans to spill on this?
is it just a big printer controller?
I noticed the Micro A is apparently microcontrolled.
What was it sold for?
