I *think* that the Wang Professional designation
appeared on all the desktop machines, both PC and
non-PC variants, and it also appeared on most of the
5.25" media that I had for both machines. I also think
that the unit I had was a '280'. There was also a
'350' which had a smaller footprint and probably a 386
processor.

I wish I could help you with software but stupidly I
ditched all my 5.25" media when I left the UK about 10
years ago. At one time I had Lotus 1-2-3, and dbase,
along with the Wang IWP package, and I had various
games including Pacman that had been ported over. But
you may still get lucky.

We used Wang equipment in conjunction with VS80s (and
later VS models) for e-mail internally as well as disk
and print serving. Did you also get the VS networking
card ?
