Funny,
cass.net still has those pages, even though I cancelled my account when
I moved almost 2 years ago.

As far as OIS 60 system disks, I still have to make a set of disks for my OIS
50 in case it's ST506 disk fails. All the files (except the
SYSGEN.MASTER.ROOT, which is the 'kernel' of the OS) are the same as for the
OIS 140 (8" floppy disks). I have successfully created a boot floppy, all
that remains is to recreate the 5 1/4" versions of the rest of the install,
from the 8" media I have.

Hi all,
Just been offered a Wang OIS60, which sounds like a reasonably
interesting machine (cardcaged-tower, ST506 disk, Z80 CPU, support for 8
terminals).
The owner's unsure as to whether there are any system disks - and I'm
wary of us taking this thing on if we can't rebuild it when the hard
disk eventually dies.
So, anyone have one of these and have the installation media preserved
anywhere? (along with the hard disk formatter - hopefully Wang weren't
one of those companies that set hard disks up at the factory and then
shipped them out)
cheers

Jules, since nobody has responded, I'll forward this link:

It is for Jim Donoghue's Wang OIS web site. I know he used to be on
this list, but I haven't seen sign of him for a while.
