Description

Unisys 5000 mini-computers were about the size of a small refrigerator, and were designed for mostly serial I/O with dozens up to hundreds of serial ports in the back. They were based on 40 MHz 68040 CPUs and ran a proprietary port of ATT System V Unix. Mostly used Oracle version 6.0.36 (and later Oracle 7) on them with own proprietary character based financial, logistical, and personnel applications.
