I used to work for UNISYS, not in their PC group, but we used their PC's
in house. When I left (less than 1 yr ago) it was my understanding that the 
UNISYS(Sperry) PC was actually made by Mitsubishi, and just had a UNISYS
sticker glued to the case. If you want to know what UNISYS has planned for 
the future of its PC users, try calling Mitsubishi Consumer Electronics 
division.
BTW - the UNISYS PC's that we used were fully bus compatible with real
ibms, so you could probably shop around for commercial 80386 upgrade boards
if you need more horse power.
