Ok, what do you all know about the Wang PC XC3-2 circa
1984? I got one
today. Unfortunately it was just the system itself with no documentation,
but I did get some software. This one has a 5.25" disk drive and a
half-height hard drive. I haven't dug into it yet so don't know many more
details but from the labels on the interface cards on the back it has an
IBM Monochrome emulator board among all the basic stuff (winchester disk
controller, serial, parallel, etc.)
Sam, even with the IBM emulator board they are only marginally PC
compatible. Without, they run Wang programs only. I have a fairly full
set of disks for the machine. Of course, you may have some/much of it on
the hard disk.
I'm sorry that I didn't respond to Larry when he posted his query, but I
misread it that he was talking about one of the PC look-a-like
(compatible?) series that came along in the mid/late '80s.
