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.
