Wang PC-002 ?? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

10 Jun 1998

   After reading Doug's message, I checked at my favorite trift store and
found a pile of manuals for a Wang PC.  NOT Personal Computer but
Professional computer! The manuals seem to be sort of generic to all Wang
PCs. None of the manuals mentioned a model number of the computers
themselves but they did list the model numbers of the various options and
accessories.  

   I also found three Wang computers. They were under a pile of stuff so I
didn't get a good luck at them and I don't know if they were Wang PCs or a
different model but they looked like the PCs.  Two looked like 8 slot
electronics units (that's what Wang calls them) and the other looked like a
5 slot unit.

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.

 From the back it looked like it had several large
horizontally-mounted 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?
