I fully disassembled the Wang machine last night, so I can state a couple
of things more clearly.

Someone mentioned that they had seen one. (Joe?)

The only connectors I could find were on the right hand edge of the board.
They are indeed 34-pin connectors, with hinged clips on the sides that
actually push the connector out of the socket when you push them apart.
The cables that are plugged into these sockets do lead to the floppy
drives.
The connectors are labeled J5 and J6 on the motherboard. They're blue on
my machine.
I had no expectations about what a floppy controller connector would look
like, so I don't consider these connectors to be strange.
I noticed some switches on the motherboard, too. At the moment they're in
the 'record the position but don't mess with' category. They're ON, ON,
ON, and OFF. :)

Well, we know who's to blame. But we should leave it on some politics
list.
