Most Unisys boards from mid 1990's are OEM FIC boards (my Unisys CWD5001 and my ELI 46665 are). Can you take a good picture of the motherboards and post it here ?
Most of the old Unisys links are dead, even in Archive.org. Here is one for your board but it is mostly corrupt and the driver links go to long dead FTP site:

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
I'd try contacting evasive over on motherboards.org (he is still active there and here on Vogons also through https://www.elhvb.com/), maybe he still has some files:

A number of support files are still downloadable here

tho sadly not the manual 🙁
Good work PC Hoarder Patrol ! I found only one decent older Aquanta quick guide (similar to the one inside the case of my ELI466) but was for the DX CWP50051 and it does not have the front panel connections 🙁
If you find any others we should up them to Vogons library for future use...

I would not trust that site!
When searching around I did find a promotional Aquanta screensaver from Unisys. Haven't installed it, but thought it would be interesting to add here.
Can you upload a good photo of your board so we can add it to UH19 ? http://www.win3x.org/uh19/

Sorry for side-angle.
The angle isn't a problem (except in extreme situations), we can straighten it however the resolution is quite low 🙁
At least it gives us enough infos to add this board to UH19, but a better photo (even with an angle like this) is welcome !

No needed to dumping bios.
Same as this original bios exe(use 7zip to extract)
By the way thanks for collecting mb infos/pics.Good site although poor youtube channel. i think you have a big collection.
But in your channel i see a few videos 🙂👍
Well I need to make more videos and make them better, that's true. Now I'm not sure if I'l make them in english ... (some will I guess).

I contacted evasive, according to him, the board is an Acer V60X. The acer brand is confirmed by the bios : in the readme file you can read "Acer" being mentioned. Also the acer V60N (baby AT motherboard) looks similar in the PCB color, components and connectors : http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/221
Unfortunately he has nothing else. Maybe Acer V60X rings a bell to someone here ?

Here's a copy of the later (last?) BIOS version for the board, in case you want to add it as well
"Aquanta DM/6 II; CMT6xxx72. Phoenix BIOS V4.0 R5.1 Unisys Ver 1.90 (Self-Extracting Archive). Extract to bootable floppy. (26-Jan-1998 )"
Thank you 😀
