UNISCOPE 100 Vintage ComputerCollection
This collection of UNIVAC UNISCOPE 100 equipment is only forthe serious computer collector or museum. The UNISCOPE 100 was one of the veryfirst computer input/output devices utilizing Cathode Ray Tubes and was certainlyone of the very first mass produced. It was designed in the late 1960’s, andearly 1970’s and continued in use even into the 1980’s. This unit was utilizedby several major airlines, many state and local law enforcement agencies, fororder entry and was even the main I/O console for the UNIVAC SPERRY RAND 1100series of large scale computer systems.
Collection includes one UNISCOPE 100 in original foam shippingcase, complete with plastic dust cover, keyboard, and power cord. It includesall internal boards including power, deflection, character generator, two I/Oboards, and a 1K semiconductor memory board (8 bit words). This unit was lastused in the mid 80’s for board testing. It has not been tested since and, as such, isbeing sold as is, without any type of warranty. Returns will not be accepted.Unit has discoloration on green paint on both sides and some foggy spots onscreen which should not matter as screen is
The UNISCOPE 100 was made with almost a thousandsemi-conductor chips (TTL type) on internal boards and a complete set of logicprints is contained in the two volumes of several hundred pages of 11 x 17drawings contained in two large plastic covered manuals. Also included are two UNIVACEngineering/Maintenance Handbooks and one small Engineering/Servicing ReferenceManual. Included is a hand written cross reference to the then industrystandard 74xx series of TTL chips.
Three UNISCOPE 100 manuals contain many books and documentscovering everything from programmers reference manual, to printers, cassettes,UNISCOPE 200, Multiplexers, a UNIVAC 1551 military display terminal, planningguides, communications protocol, photos, advertising, etc, In addition to thesedocuments there are four black/clear SPERRY UNIVAC three ring document covers,one white/clear SPERRY cover and one large red three ring binder that says onlyUNIVAC.
Collection includes a service technicians spare cardcarrying case that includes many spare cards including 1 each A5 Deflection, 1 eachA7 Memory, 1 each A8 Character Generator, 1 each A9 Control Board, 3 each A10Position Address Boards, 2 each A11 I/O #1 Board, 3 each A12 I/O #2 Board, 1 eachA13 Auxiliary Interface Board as well as a printer cable, card retainer and Auxinterface cable.
The A5 Deflection Board above, was obviously an engineeringprototype as it is the only known U100 board with gold plating on the tabs. Thespare A7 Memory board is unique in that it has a core memory instead of thesemi-conductor memory found in the production units. This is truly reminiscentof the very first UNIVAC 1 Computer.
