I do hope you get it going. If you feel qualified, one thing I'd also
look for are packs with batteries to hold information that may have
decayed. That sometimes can cause what you described. since the system
may have been left since 1999, the batteries may have gone onto
corrosion and you may have a bit of fixing to do for that.
I've never done much but pull the cover off the one we had, and IIRC it
had a metal box, and I put the plastic back on and left it at that.
Hope you can score the one here for spares for your system. Since you
have the software and the floppy drive, and a keyboard, you have some
really rare bits. I've only seen maybe one or two other UTS 40's one
keyboard and one floppy for sale since I worked with them.
I think I had the machine in 1985 or 86, not sure, could have been
later. I worked with a couple of partners from 81 thru 85, then stated
to do other contracting, including projects which they found that i
could do.
We didn't retain any of the boards, sorry that I can't supply a sample
of my printer controller if you get yours going.
thanks
Jim
