These were great machines for their time and were the

Odd, this machine seems a bit large to me to
be a standard desktop machine.
Maybe built into a desk... but a desktop?
Yes, this machine has software on it to interface to Wang VS hosts.
But more interesting to me, I noticed that I could boot to a different
partition when the machine is in "bios". On that partition is a full
development suite, including basic interpreter, basic compiler (both
microsoft), Assembler (Microsoft I think), and Pascal compiler. Fun stuff.
Lucky find - I have been looking for one of these
forever.
It may be available at some point, especially if you have some interesting
stuff to trade :D
