I've been adding more stuff to my archive of information on the first
generation of Wang 2200's. The most meaty things I've added are:

1) a description of the microarchitecture of its custom CPU

        http://www.thebattles.net/wang/uarch.html

2) which was largely derived from a 2200 service manual

        http://www.thebattles.net/wang/2200tech/2200_service_manual.pdf
        http://www.thebattles.net/wang/2200tech/2200_service_manual.djvu

3) a write up about the little known Wang 3300, a precursor of the
2200. It was aimed at the PDP-8 market. Unlike the 2200, it was a general
purpose CPU and BASIC wasn't built in; it had to be loaded from paper
tape. The BASIC supported up to 16 simultaneous users.

        http://www.thebattles.net/wang/3300.html

That page also has some scans of press releases and a brochure on the machine.

Next up, I hope to scan some 2200 BASIC manuals and have them on-line in a
week or two.
