I have been offered a largish Wang word processor system... a
washing-machine size CPU and two slightly smaller 8" floppy units,
several terminals and two printers... no doc or software at this time.
I will get model numbers etc. when I actually get to spend some
time poking around the units.
My question before I actually commit to saving this from the
dumpster is: anybody want it??? I sure don't...
They're *big* and heavy, so shipping is definately a factor,
unless you want to arrange to pick it up, in which case there is a
loading dock available.
Cheers

What is it? If as you say, it's a word processor, it could be a
Wangwriter, although I hardly think they were THAT big. It sounds like
some sort of early VS, which is definitely a lot more than a word
processor. More people need to save Wang equipment. If it is a
Wangwriter, we're looking for one.

I have several Wang systems, so yes, I would be interested but I would be a
LOT more interested if there was some documentation and system disks! The
largest Wang I have is a bit larger than a Sun2, and alas, it also has no
docs or software <sigh>.

Would you happen to have a Wang tower with two LED displays? I've seen one
of these in a thrift store, but hadn't bought it. That tower had a ton of
coax connectors on the rear panel.

Which units are they, Marvin. I have disks for the old non-ISA, 5.25"
