Wang2200.org – Virtual Media

This page contains virtual media for the Wang 2200, which presently is mostly disk images, although in the future tape images may appear. These files can be used with the emulator, but it is also possible with enough effort to use the file to create real disk images to get running again that old Wang computer you found at the curb.

Just about all of the disk images here were contributed. If you have any old Wang 2200 disks in a box in the back of your closet, please consider contributing it to help grow this library. I have an 8" floppy connected to my PC and special hardware and software so I can read these old disks.

The "notes" links below mostly just contain the metadata of the disk and the catalog listing. These were generated by a utility program, available below. "wvdutil" is written in Python. Python is a pretty nice language, and this is my first Python program. Don't expect much.

Version 1.2 of wvdutil can list the disk catalog, set and clear the disk write protect status, set and clear program protect mode, list program and structured data files, check the disk and files for consistency, and change the catalog index style from the old 2 byte format to the new 2 byte format. See the readme in the zip for more detailed information.

Diagnostics
File Description Notes
mvp-diag-3.5.wvd.zip
notes
This disk contains ucode and BASIC-2 diagnostic programs. Although the programs came on a disk labelled "MVP OS 3.5 disk 2", I don't know how specific these diagnostics are to that release. In fact, I can run them under VP OS 2.3, but with one exception. Under VP OS Release 2.3, BDIAG6 (IF/ELSE tests) fails at line 730. It is because of this difference in behavior for an odd corner case.
10 IF 2<1 THEN PRINT "YES"
20 ELSE PRINT "NO"
On VP Release 2.3, nothing is printed. Starting with MVP BASIC-2 Release 3.0, "NO" is printed.

This is a Wang BASIC diagnostic disk. It is intended for first generation CPUs, such as the 2200T used in the WCS family. Note that to run, the disk must not be write protected. 3

This is a collection of GAMES that were extracted from an old hard drive. A few are gems; many are rehashes of Creative Computing games. Some run too fast on a BASIC-2 machine; some depend on the graphics characters from the 22x6 terminals to be playable. 1
