- I believe that by the time the 51 was launched, 8MB was minimum, but
- early systems were 4MB perhaps...
-
- Disks were SCSI and probably FULL high 5.25" Micropolis in that vintage,
- 170MB M1375's or 380MB M1578's (perhaps even 760MB M1588's) all
- unformatted capacities. Also it should have a Archive VIPER QIC drive
- and a 1.2MB 5.25" diskette.
-
- It has 1 CPU, a 386DX at 25MHz with a secondary cache. The I/O
- bus was ISA and I believe it also supported a Weitek W3167
- co-processor as well as an 80387 option.
-
- Terminal controllers were probably UN6050-8IO SCP controllers, 8 ports per
- board. 3 comm ports and a UPS port were on the base system. EGA or VGA
- was supported as an optional console.
-
- Standard configurations were probably a model A with 4 or 8MB and
- 1 170MB disk, no FPU's, 1 SCP terminal controller. But this was a long
- time ago now...

-
- It was a Convergent Technologies Server PC (SPC) 300 Series.
- CT is no more and is a wholly owned UNISYS company, part of the
- UNISYS UNIX System Group, along with UNISYS Salt Lake City.
- Some older systems may appear under other badges through the CT OEM
- channel, but most were UNISYS badged.

-
- To give an idea of the nature of the systems, here are the UNISYS
- low / mid range systems in brief terms so you can compare H/W
- type performance.
-
- The low to mid range U6000 systems are:
- (The last 3 in the list are the CURRENT low / mid range platforms,
- the others are largely obsolete and no longer shipping...).
-
- UNISYS HOST CPU / CLOCK / BUS
- (CT NAME IF ANY)
-
- U6000/10 80386DX 20MHz ISA
-
- U6000/30 80386DX 16MHz ISA
- (SPC100)
-
- U6000/31 80386DX 20MHz ISA
- (SPC100/20)
-
- U6000/50 80386DX 20MHz ISA
- (SPC200)
-
- U6000/51 80386DX 25MHz ISA
- (SPC300)
-
- U6000/55 80386DX 33MHz ISA
- (SPC300)
-
- U6000/60 80486DX 25MHz ISA
- (SPC340)
-
- U6000/15 80486DX 33MHz EISA
- U6000/35 80486DX 33MHz or 80486DX-2 66MHz EISA
- U6000/65 1 to 5 80486DX 33MHz and/or 80486DX 50MHz EISA
-
- Currently the ones marked shipping are running SVR4.0/MP O/S as opposed to
- SVR3 and therefore have performance numbers in the AIM Summer 1992
- benchmark reports. The older stuff may be in previous AIM
- guides.
-
- The larger U6000/70/75/80/85 systems are Sequent based and I have not
- described them here.
