Never heard the term "UC" so nothing I can add. Sorry. I only recall 308X had custom controller. Never got further into than that. 3090 service processor used 2x 4361-like CPUs running modified version of VM. I wrote software to modify the files to change the machine configuration (configuration was delivered on tape). From some of the service-processor screens you could break-out into the text editor, then down to the OS. All screens were written in REXX. I think I still have the code I wrote to reverse-calculate the monthly high-access service processor passwords.
Would be interesting to know your background and reasoning behind the research; self-interest, book, article, etc.
