Wang 2200 (link)
- Jan van de Veen's Wang Museum is a must see
- Bruce Damer at the Digibarn has a 2200VP, and the 2200T that I gave him. Bruce runs a great museum, so give it a visit.
- Al Kossow's fabulous bitsavers.org has a subdirectory of Wang stuff.
- Wang 2200 PCS-II, located at Gaby's mostly CP/M museum. The PCS-II sure was ugly.
- Rainer Siebert has a lot of interesting information about various Wang computers, including the 2200 family.
- Here is an Italian 2200 fan. He has many nice pictures.
- Wolfgang Hruska has big and growing Wang PC collection. Wang PCs can run BASIC-2 programs, though! Here are links his youtube channel and specifically his Wang PC running Wang 2200 BASIC-2 programs on a Wang PC.
- A somewhat blurry but interesting video of a Wang 2200 loading programs from digital cassette tape
- A Wang 2200 loading and running a program
- BizTech magazine has a good article about the Wang 2200.
- Bernardo Kastrup of The Byte Attic youtube channel did an absolutely stunning job of restoring a Wang PCS to good-as-new working condition, and he did it lightning fast.
- The youtube channel of Reinhard vom Dobel has a few interesting videos where he has done some impressive video projects with the 2200, including displaying external video on the CRT, and using an FPGA to design a new video controller that can generate a high density (80x30) display that is capable of color text, and simultaneous text and graphics overlay (part 1) (part 2).
Wang 2200 VP (link)
- Zdeněk Houška has restored a 2200 LVP to fully functioning condition and has done some first rate hacking to allow import/export of disk images from a host computer to the LVP. He has made a great video documenting the system.
- The Rhode Island Computer Museum has a short page on a variety of Wang 2200 hardware in their collection. Being located not too far from Boston, it is no wonder they have access to a lot of Wang cast-offs.
Wang OIS (link)
- Jim Donoghue used to have the only substantial website on the Wang OIS family. That has disappeared, but here is a capture of it, courtesy of the Wayback Machine.
- David Schmidt has worked out how the Wang OIS disk structure is organized. Please click on this link to get the diagram he produced.
- Theo Laan, from the Netherlands, was able to use a catweasel card to capture the contents of two boot disks for his WPS 10A Wang word processing system. Although it isn't directly usable by the Wang 2200 (or the emulator here), the disk sectors can be dumped out and perhaps would be useful to someone needing to get an OIS system up and running.
Wang VS (link)
- Thomas Junker is associated (2004) with TransVirtual Systems, a new venture working with Getronics to bring a new generation of VS to market using TVS's unique hardware abstraction technology.
- Thomas Junker also runs The Unofficial Wang VS Information Center
- Ernest Schreurs is working on emulating the VS architecture and cloning the OS
Wang 3300 (link)
- I have a website dedicated to collecting information about the Wang 3300.
- Tom Lake has a video of an ASR-33 connected to a Wang 3300 emulator.
Commercial Wang Support (link)
These are some people who are still support the 2200
- Cogito Computer Corp, Stillwater, MN
- Joseph Heal runs Tri-Office Automations, Inc., in Loveland, OH (513) 683-7996
Other Wang Links (link)
- Rick Bensene's Old Calculator Web Museum has some great Wang calculators and Wang history, especially computer pre-history. Rick's website is one of a kind -- he really digs deep and does an excellent job of restoring and presenting information about vintage calculating machines.
- Stan Woods has created an interesting Wang website with a decidedly European flavor. Although it mostly focuses on the locations and staff of Wang UK (it is the focal point for Wang UK reunions), but it also has some interesting photos and pamphlets of various systems.
- Ernie Smith wrote an excellent article about the rise and fall of Wang Computers.
- Former Wang employee Bob Trottier took some pictures of rare Wang 4000 hardware from the in-house museum when it was being decommissioned. The 4000 was used in instrumentation applications, but didn't meet with great success. I've hosted Bob's pictures here.
- There is scant information about it, but long before the 2200, Wang designed what they described as "A Digital-Analog Differential Computer", the Digilog Computer, capable of solving linear and non-linear ordinary and partial differential equations, integral equations, and simultaneous differential and algebraic equations.
- Wang's first word processor, the Wang 1200, was actually a re-engineered Wang 500 calculator
- Doug Miller has written an emulation of the Wang 600 calculator using the real microcode from one. The Wang 600 microarchitecture is closely related to that of the Wang 1200.
- Alf Urban's Wang 600 Simulator
- Jürgen Sievers' Wang 600 Calculator website
- The Rhode Island Computer Museum has a page of all the large systems in their collection; scroll to the bottom to see the links to their Wang machines and peripherals.
- Computer Modell Katalog, in German
- Computer-Archivg, in German. You must manually search for Wang, as directly linking to the page is disallowed.
If you have any links about the 2200 family, please let me know so I can add them to the list.
