Either a 3.5" floppy disk or a serial link (Xmodem, etc). Both
completely OS-independent. I could drive it from a DEC PDP-8 if I felt
like it. :)
It has a very nice user interface that is implemented as full-screen
menus and such, pure ASCII, on a terminal (or some computer running a
terminal emulator) plugged into one of its serial ports. That's how I
run mine. I have some terminals around; I have a DEC VT420 set up with
the UniSite on a dedicated bench as a sort of "programming station"
which is set up and treated as an appliance. Zero chance of
obsolescence due to software discontinuance or other suitly BS, zero
chance of getting in the way of getting work done.
It CAN be remotely controlled via software under Windows, but...then
you'd be dinking around with Windows.
Photos of my setup are available upon request, if you're curious.
