Sperry Univac UTS-40 Terminal doc anyone?

[Electronics Plus]

I had a number of these. The construction seemed to be surprisingly flimsy.
If you removed the top cover, check the back corner where all the cards
interface together. These often work loose, making the terminal useless.
Gently but firmly re-align everything and push it all back together. Then
plug it in and turn it on. Without the keyboard, you will get errors.

Subject: Sperry Univac UTS-40 Terminal doc anyone?

I am the temporary caretaker of a Sperry UTS-40 "intelligent" terminal (very
green screen, Z-80 based terminal from the late 70's or early 80's) which I
grabbed on eBait for sending parts to Dominique Carlier over in Belgium. The
CRT, power supply and character generator seem to work (gives a very sharp
semi-random geometric display on power-on, sometimes with a few nicely drawn
characters interspersed), but the darn thing does not seem to boot on reset.
The picture goes away and weird sound is emitted from the speaker after a
long beep-of-death. I was wondering if anyone had service documentation. Or
a dump of the firmware. Al, anything that crossed your desk?
