Wang PC-002 ??

I have a Wang PC-001. It is about half the width, almost 50% higher and 25% longer than the original IBM PC (if memory serves me right.. I'll confirm these dimensions tonight). It has a 5 1/4" half height 20 MB hard drive, presumeably a Seagate ST-220 although I've never popped the cover. Floppy drives I'll check tonight as well, I seem to remember one 5 1/4" half height. The cards in the rear are mounted horizontally as well. One interesting part of this pc is that the monitor has a steel mounting bracket (on one end it holds the monitor, on the other it has a clamp for the edge of a desk) which is angled at 45 degrees so the monitor can be elevated above the user's desk to free a desk of all but the keyboard (with the system unit on the floor).

Author: classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu at internet Date: 6/9/98 2:26 PM Greetings, I saw a very large Wang box at a thrift store yesterday, I *think* the little sticker on it said "PC-002". I didn't see the keyboard, but I didn't look. The machine was really big, I think about twice the height of an old IBM-PC and about the same width. It was longer than it was wide. It had two full-height 5.25" floppy drives. cards inside, including one with two coaxial cable connectors and another with two female DIN connectors. I would have paid close attention to it had my arms not already been full. I didn't see the keyboard, but it was probably stacked up in the pile with all the normal PC crap keyboards. If I am to go back for it, I'll have to take the car as I doubt I'd be able to survive the walk to the bus while trying to carry that thing. Does anyone know what this thing is?
