Moved to a new web hosting service. Please let me know if you notice any missing links or other hiccups. One side effect of this move is that a few .pl files refuse to present as text/plain mime type despite the proper .htaccess file configuration, so now I expose them as zip files.

Paul Heller contributed this manual:
Ron O'Kelly donated a box of interesting documents. There are more things I need to capture, but this is what I've processed so far:
- 2207A Interface Controller Data Sheet
- 2236 Terminal and Mux Controller Data Sheet
- 2260B Fixed/Removable Disk Drive
- 2261W Line Printer
- 2261W line Printer User Manual
- 2236DW Interactive Terminal User Manual
- WCS/30 Technical Information
- 1977 Wang sales proposal for Georgetown Hardware, Inc.
- Wang Labs 1976 Annual Report
- Wang Laboratories, Inc: An Overview
Finally, here is a datasheet of unknown origin. It was in a subfolder of a subfolder etc., and only recently came it again:
The floating point format page was updated with a bit of trivia concerning who wrote the for the floating point routines.
The systems page was updated with reference to the WCS/40, and the footnotes are now generated automatically instead of having to manually insert all the html. This has made it easier for me to add more footnotes. While I was at it, I attempted to be more specific about which page of a document a given footnote came from.

Only a very minor update. Some time back I bought an ad off of ebay, but it was filed and never scanned. Recently I came across it again, and now it is online.

I just discovered a very interesting email from Richard L. Langley from five years ago concerning Wang history. Sadly, and inexplicably, I never replied to him, and now his email address is stale. If you are Richard Langley, or know one who used to work at Wang, please have him get in contact with me.
I made a small stylistic change. All section headers, (the green bars) except those on this page, have anchor tags. I've just added some styling so that these tags appear as "(link)" in small letters to the right of the header text, making it easier to bookmark a link to a given section of a page.
