【Uchida Yoko】 USAC 8800 Series

The USAC 8800 Series (Model 70, 60, 50, 40, 30 and 20) was a series of office computers (small business computers used in offices) from Uchida Yoko. It was the successor series of the USAC2001 Series, and was announced in October 1990 as a machine for contributing to the strategic use of computer systems at mid-size companies. To respond to more diverse and sophisticated customer needs, the series provided real-time data processing based on standard use of a RDB, data search secondary processing, good system reliability and security, and compliance with international standards. Thus it promoted the move toward total systems by mid-size companies, as a system conceived as an office computer for a new era. Through linkage with the GX Series, which had already been marketed as an office workstation, this series established a form of business processing using OA(Office Automation) data and DP(Data Processing) data.
The features of these machines were as follows:
(1) DPS (Data Processing Service) using a relational database (FX-RDB)
(2) Network functionality (horizontal, vertical linkage), automatic operation capability, and a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) unit were standard equipment (Model 50 and higher)
Later, the performance and capabilities of the USAC 8800 Series were enhanced in the USAC 8800 II Series, USAC 8800 II R Series and USAC 8800SV Series, and these developed into the open architecture systems of the later 1990s.
